**Australia’s most amazing characters of the convict age.** In *Heroes, Rebels and Radicals of Convict Australia* , our master storyteller Jim Haynes has collected a fascinating cast of characters who embody the resourcefulness, bravery, defiance, successes and tragedies of the convict era, the men and women who forged the nation we would one day become. There’s Joseph Banks, the true founder of the colony; Surgeon John White, the saviour of the First Fleet; Pemulwuy, the Bidjigal freedom fighter; Mary Reiby, the horse thief who made good; Sapy Lovell, the Eora gypsy convict; John Donohue, the wild colonial boy; Lady Jane Franklin, the true leader of Van Diemen’s Land – and many more! Why did transportation occur, why did it end, and what was it like living in Australia from 1788 to 1870? Skilfully researched and told in Jim’s warm and witty style, *Heroes, Rebels and Radicals of Convict Australia* answers these questions and brings to life well-known and unknown figures from Australia’s history as a penal settlement. This is the true story of the colonisation of Australia. **’Aussies love a good story and entertainer Jim Haynes has been telling them for decades’ — *Courier-Mail***
