Читать книгу Into the Unknown - Joy Dunicliff - Страница 5

Introduction.

The Todhunter family, have been kind enough to provide me with important information providing a wider understanding of what happened in the Antipodes. This is a fictional story built around true events and wrapped around the real people involved. It is the story of four young men, who had lived near one another in London, during a period of uncertainty, both at home and in the new worlds, and at a time when Britain was building her empire, and looking for others.

The story concerns two pairs of brothers, of similar ages, who remained life long friends. The story covers a very short period in their lives, approximately 3 to 4 years, in the Antipodes.

Much information has been obtained from their family papers, which has augmented the story. Consequently some language may sound a bit archaic.
