The Man from Mukinupin - Paperback

by Dorothy Hewett (Author)

'Only Dorothy could conceive of such a harvest festival in a town where the orchards are dying, the salt is rising and it is 114 degrees in the shade', wrote Katharine Brisbane in her foreword to the first edition. 'Shakespeare, and the popular poets of the day... hang in baroque garlands about the inhabitants of Mukinupin, and remind us of the eternal optimism, independence and resource of those who made this country.'

The Man From Mukinupin is a musical celebration of country life in Australia, set in a West Australian wheat belt town at the time of the Great War.
