| ||||||||||||||||||
Noel Tovey had a childhood and adolescence that would have killed some,
and twisted many beyond hope. Born in the slums of Carlton, he was
abandoned at the age of six, spent several years in the 'care' of an
abusive foster father and then managed to get by as a street kid in the
1940's Melbourne. Buffeted by neglect, poverty and sexual abuse, he
ended up in Pentridge Gaol at the age of 17, contemplating suicide.Yet,
while he was on the streets, Noel continued to pursue his dreams and
hold on to the hope that he would realise his potential as an actor and
dancer. Large Paperback. Copy in VGC. We're happy to combine post/shipping.

AS NEW - To be used only when the book is in the same immaculate condition to which it was published. There can be no defects, and the dust jacket (if it was issued with one) must be perfect, without any tears. EXCELLENT (EC) - Approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. For the use of the term Excellent, there must also be no major defects, and if the jacket has a small tear or other anomaly, this will be noted. VERY GOOD (VGC) - Describes a book that does show some small signs of wear. Any defects will be noted. GOOD (GC) - Describes the average used worn book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects will be noted. FAIR - Worn book that has complete text pages but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects will be noted. POOR - Describes a book that is sufficiently worn, to the point that its only merit is as a Reading Copy because it does have the complete and legible text. Any missing maps or plates will be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc. As a rule, we never list books with serious damage. Faults will always be described accurately.
