Description:
Eccentrics don't come with a warning! Crackpots, Rebels and Ratbags tells the extraordinary stories of some of Australia's most amazing personalities, from Sir Henry Browne Hayes whose idea of courtship was to kidnap the girl, to Eliza Donnithorne, reputed to be Dickens' inspiration for Miss Havisham; from Alfred Deakin, our spiritualist prime minister, to the outlandish Percy Grainger; from nude activist William Chidley to William 'the Flying Pieman' King; and from outcast Bea Miles to the witch of Kings Cross, Rosaleen Norton. Robert Holden takes an affectionate, entertaining and lively look at the oddbods of Australia's history.
