Australia through Its Children's Books.
McVitty, Walter
Social Education, v48 n6 p449-50 Sep-Oct 1984
This bibliographic essay discusses how Australian children's books and adolescent literature reflect Australian society. For example, Australian society tends to be male dominated; problems of a boy growing up in a mainly macho world are dealt with in Southall's "Josh" and "Walk a Mile" and in Phipson's "A Tide Flowing."
