The Companion Guide to Sydney is by one of Australia's most distinguished writers.  For the first time the birthplace of Australia has been portrayed in its entirety:  its history and its people, as well as its topography.

Ruth Park tells how the transformation from penal colony to modern metropolis came about.  She takes the reader virtually by the hand through the city, suburbs and outlying districts, evoking ghosts of unusual and interesting figures from history and pointing up the features which bring past and present to life.  Maps on endpapers.

Book in very good condition. Dust jacket in fair to good condition - some scuffing marks and bumping wear at edges.
