The Ebbing of the Tide

More about the book

The narrative highlights the literary journey of George Lewis Becke, an Australian writer and trader, who began contributing stories to The Bulletin in the early 1890s. His works, including the collection "By Reef and Palm" and the novelette "His Native Wife," showcase his storytelling prowess, drawing inspiration from his experiences in the Pacific. His subsequent collection, "The Ebbing of the Tide," further solidifies his reputation in Australian literature during the late 19th century.
