- Summary:
-
“This is a story about the life and dreams of Mary and Jim. They grew up in gold-rich Bendigo. As adults they cared for their family in a small house in Richmond. There some of their youthful dreams resurfaced. As a background to the story, wars and depressions buffet Australia. Simple examples of addition and subtraction are part of the story. So this book serves as an aid in numeracy as well as literacy. ...extracted from the author's Castle 259 which provides a fuller description of the lives of Mary, Jim and their family...”
