  • "Enduring interest in the works of Christina Stead is very special to those living in the St George area of NSW. Lydham Hall in Bexley is the only place open to the public where the Steads, Christina, an Australian Novelist, and the second family of her father, David George (1877-1957), lived. The curious mind of this study's author propelled her on a journey of sourcing and exploration of original material, learning Christina Stead's biography, and cross-referencing a number of historical documents. Only then did the author 'dive' into the writer's "peculiar childhood," as reflected in the novel The Man Who Loved Children ... The author seeks answers to the following questions: What can we learn from Stead's own words about the house now called Lydham Hall within the period 1907-1917 from her correspondence, interviews and publications?To what extent is Stead's novel The Man Who Loved Children fictional? How do original recollections of Stead change the story of Lydham? The author has chosen to use an extensive number of citations to document Stead's emotional and factual connection with Lydham Hall." -- Introduction.
