by Kay Brownbill

Rigby, 1962, [First Edition], hardcover, dustjacket

Very Good Condition, a little edge and shelf wear, a little rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, age toned pages, no inscriptions, some discolouration to back, dustjacket in fair condition with rubbing, bumping, chipping, small tears, creasing and small parts missing, discolouration and crumpling (see photographs)

“Although the action of Blow the Wind Southerly is spread over more than a century it is a compact and unified story that shows what happens when the shadows of William the Sailor and Charles Fallton, reaching out from the earliest colonial days, fall across the lives of two lovers in modern England. 
A number of prominent South Australians of the ‘nineties play their part in the major portion of this novel; and while Langdon Bonython and others are unravelling the mystery that lies behind the enigmatic letter Peter de Frene receives on the death of his father; the reader finds himself taking part in the colourful life of Adeliade in the closing years of the nineteenth century.”
