Anne Clark Author

Anne Clark was born on a plantation in Mississippi and was educated at a convent school, Sophie Newcomb College, and The University of Texas. Her letters keep alive a piece of history that might otherwise have faded. They also will make Australia real and familiar to many who will never see a kangaroo or platypus or visit Canberra on a cold August day. The Foreword was written by Dame Zara Holt, widow of Prime Minister Harold Holt. In 1969 Dame Zara married Geoffrey Bate, Member of Parliament.
