Louisa Anne Meredith (1812 1895) had published poetry, journalism,
and books on flowers before emigrating to Australia in 1839. Her
account of her journey there and her early impressions of the
people were somewhat derogatory, and caused considerable offence in
Sydney, although the book was widely read both in Australia and in
England. However, her lyrical descriptions of nature were extremely
popular, and she was also a talented illustrator of her own work.
She published some twenty books, and many other writings, making
her one of the most commercially successful women writers in
Australia. Her My Home in Tasmania (1852) is also reprinted in this
series. Her books remain valuable as a source of information on the
social history of Australia in the mid-nineteenth century, and also
on natural history. For more information on this author, see http:
