    Half-Crown Bob is the longest work of fiction by Price Warung (1855-1911), one of colonial Australia's most popular writers. An affectionate character study of a "new chum" with a mysterious past who becomes universally beloved on the Victorian goldfields, Half-Crown Bob illustrates the pain of emigration in colonial times, the depths of filial loyalty and the redeeming nature of an upright character. From Monte Carlo to London to Ballarat, Bob's sacrificial destiny unfolds painfully and heroically. Published for the first time as a stand-alone work, this novella is a distilled shot of purity and tragedy worthy of Dickens, told in knock-about Australian style.

    Price Warung (1855-1911) was one of colonial Australia's most popular fiction writers. This selection showcases the best of Warung's gruesome tales of Australia's penal settlement founding and sardonic yarns of early steamboat traffic on the Murray River, and includes The Secret Society of the Ring, a novella set on Norfolk Island, the darkest corner of the convict system. With a new introduction that sets Warung in the context of his time and place, this volume reintroduces his meticulously researched work to a new generation of readers.
