Product Information
B-format of one of 2007's Australian non-fiction bestsellers. In 1959 David Hill's mother - a poor single parent living in England - reluctantly decided to send her sons to Fairbridge Farm School in New South Wales where, she was led to believe, they would have a good education and a better life.David was lucky - his mother was able to follow him out to Australia - but for most children, the reality was shockingly different. From 1938 to 1974 thousands of parents were persuaded to sign over legal guardianship of their children to Fairbridge to solve the problem of child poverty in Britain while populating the colony. Now many of those children have decided to speak out. Physical and sexual abuse was not uncommon. Loneliness was rife. Food was often inedible. The standard of education was appalling.Here, for the first time, is the story of the lives of the Fairbridge children, from the bizarre luxury of the voyage out to Australia to the harsh reality of the first days there; from the crushing dailyroutine to stolen moments of freedom and the struggle that defined life after leaving the school. This remarkable book is both a tribute to the children who were betrayed by an ideal that went terribly awry and a compelling account of an extraordinary episode in Australian-British History.

- e***e (701)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufCondition: The book is in excellent condition and just as described. Both the cover and pages have neither marks nor creases - each page is in perfect condition. Postage: The book arrived much quicker than anticipated. Packing: The book was solidly packed in a large cardboard-type envelope and securely sealed. Communication: I was sent several updates in regard to the postage, which was great. Overall: I highly recommend this seller and would definitely purchase from them again.
- 3***e (227)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufItem arrived as described, in perfect condition and in about a week. Well packaged in a large envelope and I thought it was well priced ... until I saw it elsewhere for half as much. Never mind, for a relatively low-priced item, I'm not too sore about paying more for this highly regarded tome. Good seller. Can recommended.
- c***c (463)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufA reliable and professional seller offering a wide range of items. Not always the cheapest option but certainly a store upon which you can depend. My goods were dispatched promptly, packaged appropriately and, upon receipt, found to be exactly as described. Communication throughout the process was good and I'd have no hesitation in purchasing from here in the future.Possibility (Wonder & Imagination) 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle by Paperblanks Hardco (Nr. 146371979206)

Having a friend who was one of "the Forgotten Children", this has been most informative for me. Horrific stories, but very engaging.
