A Fortunate Life, Albert Facey’s autobiography, has sold over 500,000 copies, and has spawned a successful television mini-series. Facey is everyman. He was a bush-worker, soldier at Gallipoli, unionist, farmer, family man and suburban home-improver. A Fortunate Life, besides all its other virtues, is an excellent introduction to the social history of his time.
