Taming the Wide Brown Land by Frank M Kelly is a factual, interesting and detailed story of the life of the ten pound migrants, who moved to Australia from all over Europe after World War Two, as part of the post-war mass immigration policy, set up by the Australian government. Men, women and families of all nationalities arrived in Australia, more often than not with no homes and no jobs to go to. However, what they did have was the promise of a better life in the new country of Australia, with fantastic weather and amazing opportunity. This is a great read for anyone interested in modern history and the story and experiences of immigrants in Australia.

In this memoir, Frank M. Kelly deftly details life in Britain, from the start of the Great Depression through to the end of the London Blitz and the Second World War. Evoking William Blake's Jerusalem, Kelly vividly recalls the contrasting life in the dense, industrial lands of our capital and with its 'dark Satantic mills', to life as an evacuee in the West Country's peaceful 'pleasant pastures green'. Kelly expertly paints the life of the evacuee who was 'coming of age' at such a difficult time for the Britain, and indeed the rest of the world, and the adjustments one was forced to make in both a post and pre-war world. Each page is imbued with pathos and dark humour; Snapshots is a must read for those with an interest in Second World War Britain, and for the amateur historian. As Kelly himself says, it is important for each generation to learn from the past, and who better to guide you through London, and indeed England, during the Blitz than a man who lived through it?
