Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
There was nothing remarkable about John Arthur Parkin's arrival in Melbourne in March 1853 - or in the man himself. He was just one of many hopefuls lured to the goldfields of Victoria by the prospect of a fortune. Like most of his fellow optimists, he failed. But you will read here not only about his failures, but also his later and modest successes. The book has a further purpose. Every one of John Arthur Parkin's descendants can find within, his or her place in the structure of that Australian family. John is considered to be the first generation. By 2002, there are two members of the seventh. All the generations are here. Most family readers will find a picture of themselves. They will discover relatives of whose existence they knew nothing. There are details of the family business of A. C. Parkin &Co., the main support of many of the second and third generations. They can read accounts of the lives of the third and fourth generation Parkins, and there are empty pages at the end to continue the story. Limited first edition - this book is copy 211 of only 300. Pages are beautifully clean and bright. Cover great.
