Daisy Chains, War, then Jazz, by Kathleen Mangan

“Woven through the book are memories of the author’s family- her four brothers and sister, whose personalities and influence are beautifully depicted. The McCubbin houses at South Yarra and Mt. Macedon always seemed to be full of visitors, not only such celebrities Ellen Terry, Nellie Melba, Arthur Streeton and Max Meldrum, but also the equally memorable Miss B, and the ebullient, impractical Madame Elmhurst Goode.”

Published in 1984 by Colorcraft Ltd. Hardcover, with dust jacket intact. 203 pages of text, illustrations (colour) and photographs (black and white). Slight discolouration on the dust jacket, but otherwise in good condition.
