Henry Parkes“covers Parkes’ experiences and journey to becoming the Father of Federation in an amusing way. There are plenty of illustrations to engage students.”
- History Teachers' Association of Western Australia (HTAWA) Bulletin
“It takes special skill to translate a great man’s story into something that will appeal to young people as well as to inspire them towards responsible adulthood. This fast paced, illustrated history of John Monash, distinguished soldier and energetic public servant, shows the way. In the hands of author, Allan Drummond, and illustrator, Glenn Lumsden, the great Australian leader becomes the hero of a real life adventure story. It’s a fun and informative read, and I’m looking forward to further books in the Aussie Notables series.”
- Ron Barassi, Football Legend, AFL Hall of Fame
