The Letters of Rachel Henning, edited by David Adams and illustrated by Norman Lindsay, were first published in the Bulletin in 1951-52 and later in at least three paper-back editions. Her letters read like a novel with ‘darling’ Biddulph the hero, and give an invaluable picture of colonial life; with vivid descriptions and shrewd, if not always charitable, observations on people, they have both charm and humour.
