4 .The iron house : Jane Cannan and the rush to Melbourne / Crescy Cannan.
Cannan, Crescy, 1947-, author
Summary: Jane Cannan's delicate sketches of mid-nineteenth century houses are collected in Australia's National Library and the Royal Historical Society of Victoria, but who was she? From a cosmopolitan background, and growing up in England's literary Lake District, Jane escaped a tedious life of provincial spinsterhood by marrying a younger Scotsman with a posting to Australia. His firm, Morewood & Rogers, was one of several exporting ingenious prefabricated iron buildings to Britain's colonies. Jane's lively letters describe her journey to Melbourne by sailing ship, her reactions to seeing a city grow amid the turbulence of the gold-rush, the pressure on young men from 'distressed' middle-class backgrounds to make their fortunes in boom and bust times, and her experience of life in a tiny corrugated iron house.

1 .Hustling Hinkler : the short tumultuous life of a trailblazing Australian aviator / D. R. Dymock.
Dymock, Darryl, author
Sydney : Hachette Australia, 2013.
Summary: Part adventure, part mystery and part tragedy, HUSTLING HINKLER is the unforgettable true story of Bert Hinkler's astonishing life. Herbert John Louis Hinkler was a working-class lad, born in Bundaberg, Queensland, in 1892. From his earliest years, Bert was captivated by stories of flight and, inspired by the Wright brothers, build his first plane while still a teenager. Determined to make a life of adventure, he became a mechanic for a barnstorming pilot before making his way to England. At the outbreak of World War I he joined up, becoming a decorated air gunner before achieving his pilot's wings in the RAF. Ambition finally aligned with skill, and he became famous for his death-defying aviation triumphs. In 1928 he thrilled the world with his first solo flight from England to Australia, and another across the South Atlantic in 1931.Yet behind this publicly feted hero was a complex man who struggled to find his place in the world when not in the sky.

2 .Saul Bellow's heart : a son's memoir / Greg Bellow.
Bellow, Greg
London : Bloomsbury, 2013.
Summary: "An intimate and honest portrait of a fiercely private man, of a moving father-son relationship, and of the family man behind the iconic writer...'The greatest American author ever, in my view ...His sentences seem to weigh more than anyone else's. He is like a force of nature ...He breaks all the rules ...The people in Bellow's fiction are real people, yet the intensity of the gaze that he bathes them in, somehow through the particular, opens up into the universal' Martin Amis 'What Bellow had to tell us in his fiction was that it was worth it, being alive' Linda Grant 'The backbone of twentieth-century American literature has been provided by two novelists - William Faulkner and Saul Bellow. Together they are the Melville, Hawthorne, and Twain of the twentieth century' Philip Roth 'If the soul is the mind at its purest, best, clearest, busiest, profoundest, then Bellow's charge has been to restore the soul to American literature' Cynthia Ozick Greg Bellow's bond with his famous-writer father was grounded in a tenderness, social optimism, and light-hearted humour rarely attributed to a man more often remembered for being quick to anger and schooled in rational argument. This intimate memoir gives voice both to the 'Young Saul' - the rebellious, irreverent and ambitious young writer, and dedicated father - and to the 'Old Saul', the writer known to the wider world, whose edges hardened as his social views turned pessimistic. The change taxed the relationship between Bellow and his son so sorely that Greg feared it might not survive. Saul Bellow's Heart is an affectionate, revealing portrait of a fiercely private man, a picture of a moving father-son relationship and a unique insight into one of America's greatest twentieth-century writers."--Publisher's description.

3 .Uncle Bill : the authorised biography of Field Marshal Sir William Slim / Russell Miller.
Miller, Russell
London : Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2013.
Summary: In 2011 the National Army Museum conducted a poll to decide who merited the title of 'Britain's Greatest General'. In the end two men shared the honour. One, predictably, was the Duke of Wellington. The other was Bill Slim. Had he been alive, Slim would have been surprised, for he was the most modest of men - a rare quality among generals.
