PUBLISHING EVENT – ELIZA DYEL STORY AVAILABLE NOW!

Julia Kable has recently published the story of Eliza Dyel, the wife of John Kable,

son of the First Fleeters, Henry and Susannah Kable.

This small book, entitled Eliza Dyel and the Dyel Family: A Chapter in the Kable Saga, answers many of the questions about Eliza’s origins, family background and history in an unembroidered, factual way. The story is also relevant to those with an interest in the lives of women in NSW in the 1820s and following decades, the Female Orphan School and the Female Factory.

Paperback, 50pp,  $14.95 plus $2.65 p&p (within Australia),
