Through My Eyes - The Autobiography of Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton (Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton)

Through My Eyes - The Autobiography of Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton

Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton

Blurb: 'This is the story of a little girl who lived, and breathed, and loved, and was loved. She was part of me. She grew within my body and when she died, part of me died, and nothing will ever alter that fact. This is her story, and mind.' - Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton

'Page after page demolishes the myth and fables that have been spun around a nation's obsession with the baby's disappearance.' - The Sydney Morning Herald

'What first struck me on meeting Lindy was her sense of humour and surprising lack of bitterness. Here is a woman who has been under such macabre and intense public scrutiny and yet through all the tabloid hysteria they haven't managed to capture the real Lindy at all. There are so many myths about Lindy and the Chamberlain case that have still not been dispelled and to read this book is to get closer to the truth behind the story that has continued to fascinate Australia for the past 24 years.' - Miranda Otto, Actress

Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street (Michael Davis)

Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street

Michael Davis

Blurb: One evening in early 1966 a group of friends were gathered at a Manhattan dinner party, where the conversation turned to a subject a number of them had been thinking about: Why couldn't television be used to teach children? Suddenly, one of the most influential, durable, and beloved shows in the history of broadcasting was born.

Michael Davis's Street Gang unfolds the never-before-told saga behind Sesame Street: the miraculously improbably alchemy that brought a passionate team together, and kept them going through four decades of social change and the backstage dram behind a television show that had always appeared effortless. Street Gang is a story of a crusade, one that has already influenced four generations of children - and one that will remain a part of childhood for generations to come.
