Australia, 1943. Peggy is just thirteen years old when her world shatters—betrayed by those meant to protect her, cast out by her adoptive mother, and left with nothing but her fierce will to survive.
Forced into adulthood too soon, Peggy takes a job as a nursing aide, clinging to the hope of stability. But fate deals another cruel blow when she becomes pregnant after a brutal assault. Abandoned and penniless, she flees Sydney for Melbourne, carrying not just an unborn child but the weight of a life that has shown her little kindness.

From Convict-style Ballads to Spoken Opera: Magda Palmer's Anthology proves the Unstoppable Voice of Australian Storytelling.
Picture this: A motley crew of English ballad singers, Irish rebels, and Scottish bards huddled around a fire in 1790s Sydney Cove, turning their "transportation misfortune" into the world's first "hard-luck open mic night." Fast-forward to today, and that same defiant creativity thrives in Magda Palmer's genre-defying anthology, where spoken opera collides with pantomime and a radio play, where a convict poem echoes the ghosts of unjust hardship.
This is Australian storytelling at its most audacious: a living archive that spans traditional tall tales in a Bush poetry style to modern romanticism. Palmer's collection doesn't just include a spoken opera—it reimagines traditional British pantomime into Australian Colonial pageantry featuring mythological Bush Characters. And that radio play? A love letter to ABC's golden age, with a twist of Kath & Kim irreverence.
Why should academics care? Because this anthology isn't just literature—it's a cultural time machine. Every piece interrogates the past while inventing the future:
The spoken opera fuses a vision truthfully told in verse with Italian libretto, silk dancers, and world mythologies. It is an akashic journey that travels the mind through emotions only felt by those who have loved deeply, whose heart, mind, spirit and body have blended seamlessly with another.
The pantomime teaches that Ozzies have fairy folk, heroes and demons in their cultural fairy tales. It features songs about bushranger heroes
The radio play resurrects the lost art of "theatre of the mind"—with Spotify-era cynicism.
For cultural nostalgists, it's pure catnip: a throwback to Lawson's bush realism, a wink to Patrick White's absurdity, and a middle finger to anyone who says Aussie storytelling has to "pick a lane."
This book positions Palmer's work as a scholarly milestone and a helluva good time—perfect for stirring debate in lecture halls or winning over sceptics at literary festivals.
Finally, Australia's stories were never meant to sit quietly on a shelf. With Palmer's anthology, they've broken into song, put on a wig, and hijacked the airwaves—precisely as the convict ancestors would've wanted. Additionally, the presentation and artwork are stunning. The book is large and presented in a coffee table format.
