Shortlisted for the 2017 Children's Book Council of Australia Awards

William Bligh: a stormy story of tempestuous times unpeels the layers of some of the most incredible circumstances in Australia's colonial history.

Some people may have heard of the famous mutiny on the bounty; others may have heard of the rum rebellion coup; but the details in and around these events are largely unknown and truly extraordinary. This is precisely what the latest book reveals.

Beautifully written by Michael Sedunary and complimented with the stunning artwork of Australia's most prominent ceramic artist, Bern Emmerichs - this is an exceptional book.

William Bligh is a fabulously detailed book - both in the fab illustrations and in the story. It's a perfect book for older children & teens to learn about Australian history as well as any Australian who doesn't know (or can't remember) the story of Rear Admiral William Bligh, the Bounty ship & the early years of the British settlements in New South Wales.
A beautiful book!
