A stirring rediscovery of love, courage and survival on the Australian frontier Sally: The Tale of a Currency Lass returns to print as a revived classic. Set in 19th-century Australia, John Henry Macartney Abbott s Australian historical novel follows Sally, a spirited currency lass, as she navigates the harsh beauty and moral complexity of colonial Australia. Part historical romance, part frontier adventure, the story traces Sally s growth from youthful uncertainty to determined pioneer, entwined with turbulent relationships, social expectation, and the relentless challenges of life in early Australia. Vivid scenes of outback hardship, bushland journeys and close-knit colonial communities bring Abbott s portrayal of the Australian frontier to life. This John Henry Macartney Abbott book holds unique literary and historical significance: a rare window into attitudes, manners and daily realities of colonial life, and an empathetic portrait of pioneering women in Australia. Its blend of adventure in the Australian outback, social detail and emotional richness marks it as a classic Australian literature treasure for both casual readers and serious collectors. Out of print for decades and now lovingly restored by Alpha Editions, this edition is not merely a reprint it is a collector s item and cultural treasure, meticulously prepared for today s readers and future generations. Perfect for fans of historical adventure books, historical fiction set in 19th-century Australia, and anyone captivated by the enduring spirit of the Australian frontier.
