The Conversations at Curlow Creek: Signed First Edition

A signed, first edition hardback of this Australian literary classic. The signature appears on a special bookplate featuring a portrait of the author by Jeffrey Smart.

It is 1827, and, in a remote hut high on the plains of New South Wales, two strangers spend the night in talk. One, an illiterate Irishman, and ex-convict and bushranger, is to be hanged at dawn. The other is the police officer who has been sent to supervise the hanging. As the night wears on, the two men share memories and uncover unlikely connections between their lives.
