From Trowenna to Tasmania, at least two centuries of peripatetic perspectives in poetry and prose...

We have put Errol Flynn and Germaine Greer between the same covers, along with Jonathan Swift, Mark Twain, Charles Darwin, Marie Pitt, Gwen Harwood, Louis Nowra, Carmel Bird, Barney Roberts, Ida West, Margaret Scott and many others in a comprehensive narrative anthology which present the rich variousness of the story of Tasmania.

Along These Lines takes the reader on a journey along the island's highways, visiting the places that have been celebrated and cursed, recorded and reinvented by some of the most entertaining and important of writers.

The text is complemented by maps, photographs, music scores and reproductions of significant art work. The extracts are linked by witty and informative passages as an aid to navigating the arteries of the heart-shaped island.
