- Summary:
-
The Pipers of Piper's Hill, later known as Uncle Piper of Piper's Hill, was serialised in the Australasian in 1888. It tells the story of the Cavendish family who come to Australia from England to live with Mrs Cavendish's parvenu brother, Tom Piper. The clash of values between the impoverished old world of privilege and the new-world democracy of the self-made man is a primary concern of the novel. Tasma's depiction of the conflicting currents of life in colonial society, and her delightful evocation of the characters involved, rapidly established her as an author of note.
