Book Description
THE MAN ON THE HEADLAND is the story of Kylie, her schoolmaster husband, Roddy, and her two children, both born during her time in Laurieton. While Kylie Tennant was living in the little fishing town of Laurieton on the north coast of New South Wales, she made two memorable discoveries - Ernie Metcalfe and Diamond Head. The two belonged together. Called by some 'the mad hermit of Diamond Head', Ernie was splendidly sane, if unlike anybody else. Kylie Tennant has painted his portrait vividly and with love, and with it the portrait of Diamond Head - a place to which Ernie was so closely bound in spirit that in the end they seemed to be one. She evokes its fascination and its subtle menace, its rocks and beaches, its wildflowers and wild creatures, the light on sea and land, so that the reader, too, falls under its spell and shares her grief and anger at its later devastation by mining. THE MAN ON THE HEADLAND is also the story of Kylie, her schoolmaster husband, Roddy, and her two children, both born during her time in Laurieton.

The Man in the Twilight
Author: Ridgwell Cullum
Publisher: Ryerson
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
The story itself has to do with a war between rival companies in the woodpulp business in Canada and Labrador. The hero, Leslie Standing, a financial adventurer and a British patriot, manages to trick Hellbeam, the company's President, out of ten million dollars. Standing organises an opposition company to demolish his rival, when Hellbeam begins operations to land him in the penitentiary. Standing takes to the forest under an assumed name, leaving his business in the hands of his foreman, and becomes a preacher in the remote camps. Lumber camp sabotage, the rising of a Soviet inspired by Scandinavian money and a bloody termination of the riots, gives plenty of zest and fire.
