Description:
Richard Lane was one of three brothers who founded Penguin Books in 1935. But like all great stories, his life didn't start there.
After sailing to Adelaide in 1922, Richard began work as a boy migrant - a farm apprentice living in rural South Australia as part of the 'Barwell Boys' scheme.
In Australia, he deepened his appreciation for literature, and understood how important it was to make good writing widely accessible.
Richard's diaries - the honest and moving words of a teenager, so very far away from home - capture vividly his life and loves; the characters he met; the land he worked; the families he depended on; and his coming of age in a new land.
A remarkable social record and one of the best first-hand accounts of the child migrant experience, the diaries also capture the ideas and the entrepreneurship that led to the founding of the twentieth century's most famous publishing house.
With a foreword by eminent Australian historian Geoffrey Blainey, Richard Lane's diaries are an important document for the history of rural Australia and global publishing
'One of the most revealing stories yet written about rural life in Australia.' Geoffrey Blainey

Fun, interactive toy!
So much fun! Bought this for my lab. She wasn't sure what to think of it at first but seems to love it now! I like that it's rechargeable too.

Happy puppy.
Color: Blue
My puppy loves his. He carry's it around and throws it. He knows how to turn it on himself. Charges quick.

Overall, I highly recommend it!”
Great toy! My dog loves it 🐶 The ball moves on its own and keeps him entertained for a long time. It’s perfect when I’m busy or not at home.
Good quality and fun, but maybe not the best for very aggressive chewers.

Puppy loves it but the battery is awful
Color: Blue
Our puppy loves playing with this ball, it does what it says and keeps her occupied for the entire 10-15 minutes the battery lasts. I have to charge it several times a day, though the light never flashes red when the battery is low, it just doesn't work anymore. It also makes a beeping sound when she's playing with it that is super annoying, which sucks because the ball itself isn't super noisy even in the hardwood floors. I wouldn't purchase this again, and we'll probably have to toss it out within a week or two, I really don't see this thing lasting very long. Without the movement, it isn't a ball we would let her play with because she is a strong chewer and the material doesn't seem chew proof at all. I'm only giving it 2 stars because she really does love playing with it, but the battery life and beeping sound are atrocious.
