Letters to my Daughter

Description

Robert Menzies remains a towering figure in our political and cultural history. This collection of letters written to his only daughter, Heather, is brimful of warmth, love and humour, and provides a fascinating insight into one of our most influential Australians.

Sir Robert Menzies was founder of the Liberal Party and Australia's longest-serving Prime Minister. This collection is edited by his only daughter, Heather Henderson, to whom the letters were addressed.

'As prime minister, Menzies strode the stage like a colossus... here he is affectionate paterfamilias, supportive sibling, benevolent uncle.' - Sydney Morning Herald. 'Menzies was a very accomplished writer and the combination of geniality and acerbity is winning.' - The Age
