Grave Tales: Sydney Vol.1 visits Sydney cemeteries to feature people who willingly or unwillingly were participants in events that made local and national headlines. They may have lived in the same suburbs, streets, and even the same houses as exist now, or unexpectantly came to rest in Sydney.
In this third volume in the ‘Grave Tales’ series, we meet Juanita Nielsen who 40 years ago fought to save areas for working class locals and lost her life as a result; thespian Maggie Oliver – a much-loved stage performer and victim of domestic abuse in the 1860s; Henry O’Farrell – our first would-be assassin – he tried to kill Queen Victoria’s son but failed; Arthur Stace – Mr Eternity; Eliza Emily Donnithorne – was she the role model for Miss Havisham in Dickens’ novel? History colliding with the now; these are just some of the stories featured in the Sydney volume of the ‘Grave Tales’ series.
