Lady Bridget in the Never-Never Land is a novel written by Rosa Praed, first published in 1915. The story is set in Australia’s Northern Territory during the early 20th century and follows Lady Bridget, a young Englishwoman who has come to live with her husband on a remote cattle station. As Lady Bridget adjusts to life in the outback, she becomes fascinated by the rugged landscape and the people who live there. She befriends the local Aboriginal people and learns about their culture, while also navigating the complex social dynamics of the white settlers. The novel explores themes of colonialism, race, and gender, as Lady Bridget grapples with her own identity and the expectations placed upon her as a woman of her time. As tensions rise between the settlers and the Indigenous population, Lady Bridget finds herself caught in the middle of a conflict that threatens to tear apart the fragile community she has come to call home. Overall, Lady Bridget in the Never-Never Land is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of Australia’s Northern Territory.If purgatory could hold worse torture than life held on that last evening Lady Bridget spent at Moongarr, then neither she nor her husband would have been required to do any long expiation there. It would be difficult to say which of the two suffered the most. Probably McKeith, because he was the strongest. Equally, he showed it the least when the breaking moment had passed. Yet both husband and wife seemed to have covered their faces, hearts and souls with unrevealing masks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
