Synopsis

<p><b>Winner, Thomas Head Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award<br>Finalist, Commonwealth Writers' Prize, Canada and the Caribbean</b></p><p><i>The Last Tasmanian</i> has reaped more national and international recognition than any other novel by Herb Curtis. First published in 1991, it has remained in print continuously in its original edition and later in <i>The Brennen Siding Trilogy</i>. Now it&#39;s available again as a separate volume in the GLE Library Series.</p> <p>Brennen Siding, a hamlet on a small tributary of the famous Miramichi River, is home to an unforgettable crew &#8212; Shadrack Nash and his friend Dryfly Ramsey; Dry&#39;s mother, the homely, destitute Shirley, and Nutbeam, the big-eared hermit she marries; the American sports who come to the Cabbage Island Salmon Club to fish; and, above all, Hilda Porter, the elderly schoolteacher who treasures the story of Trucanini, the last Tasmanian on earth. Hilda herself is the last of the Porters, and, amid the invasion of TV, Elvis, and rich Americans, Shad and Dry may be the last true natives of Brennen Siding.</p>
