Autobiography Of My Mother
An intimate portrait of an artist by the author of the bestselling Far From a Still Life, Meg Stewart. This delightful biography of Australian painter Margaret Coen is written by her daughter, Meg Stewart, the highly acclaimed biographer of Margaret Olley. Margaret Coen was born into an era when it wasn't easy for a woman to forge an artistic career. Yet she survived as a commercial artist during the Depression, joining Sydney's bohemian set in their sketch clubs and raucous studio parties. She became close friends with Norman Lindsay and married poet Douglas Stewart, which immediately gave her entrée into Sydney's literary circles of the time. Meg tells her mother's story, first published twenty years ago, in Margaret's voice, with a stream of anecdotes and personal details that build a captivating picture of her life, and of Australian social and artistic history in this era. Meg has also written a fascinating new chapter on her mother's relationship with Norman Lindsay.

Margaret Olley
With new chapters taking in the last few years of Margaret Olley's life, her state funeral and the enormous legacy she has left behind. 'A great painter, a great woman, a great story' Barry Humphries Margaret Olley is arguably Australia's most loved artist. She was also one of the country's most generous benefactors to public art galleries.

A Scandalous Lady
In Regency England, an actress finds herself suddenly playing on a whole new stage . . . Having risen from the squalor of London’s back alleys to be the darling of Drury Lane, Meg Fletcher was indeed the consummate actress. And it takes all her considerable skills to conceal her shock when she learns she was actually the legitimate daughter—and heir—of Sir Richard Carswell, an aging baronet . . . Determined to learn why her mother fled her husband in terror all those years ago, Meg journeys to Carswell Hall. There, in addition to the scandalized servants and a very surprised papa, she encounters the extremely unsettling Earl of Stanbrook, a deliciously handsome rake—who is not at all amused when the actress he’d been intended to seduce began putting on airs at Carswell Hall in the role of virtuous prodigal daughter. There was only one way a girl of her station could have come so far in the world. She might enjoy pretending she wasn’t to be won over with a few baubles, but he knew she was his for the taking. It would be trickier now that he knew she was of the Quality, but every gentleman understood there were ways to bend the rules when wooing a scandalous lady . . .
Letters Lifted Into Poetry
In Douglas Stewart's last letter to his dying friend David Campbell (dated June 1979), he recalled their correspondence, commenting that: 'Whatever happened to be outside [your] window, or seen in a morning's walk lifted a letter into poetry'. Two years earlier, Stewart had written that he'd been sorting out a 'great stack' of his friend's letters to go to the National Library of Australia, declaring: 'of course they are full of your nature observations, & will undoubtedly be published some day'. David Campbell was likewise to place the letters which Stewart wrote to him in the Library's Manuscript Collection and now, with this book, Stewart's prediction of the letters being published comes ...
