Joyce

Born April 1926

Joyce's childhood was during an era when sugar cane was cut by hand, not everyone had electricity or running water, recycling was more a necessity than a lifestyle and people dressed up when calling on their neighbours. This is a collection of stories told to her granddaughter when she was a child, fascinated by a world so different from her own.

This story was written by an Australian author using Australian spelling.
