ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- This illustrated history has been done in conjunction with the Museum of Australia, and is a sweeping look at the key events and people who contributed to our country. It starts with the geological formation of the continent, progresses on to Indigenous people and their impact, before settling in to a chronological view of European history (although not ignoring Indigenous contributions and interactions). Lavishly illustrated, with a clear and accessible text, this is both interesting and colourful, and a good overview for older readers. Lindy Jones
