JEAN LEE The Last Woman Hanged In Australia - Wilson, Treble, Lincoln
$5 Negotiable
SHIPPING OFFERED
Researched over nine years, the meticulous detail of this book shatters assumptions surrounding one of that century's most legally contentious cases.
Evidence shows that Lee was not treated as fairly and impartially as she would be today. "The total probity of the High Court decision now seems open to question because of one very short but vital sentence . . . there is reason to believe that the Victorian Executive Council acted in improper, even outrageous haste . . . by ordering the executions to take place before the Privy Council officially had refused leave to appeal. A legal principle was ignored . . . ."
If you can't collect, we can post. An Australia Post $10.90 satchel will easily hold this hardback with room for one or even two paperbacks so it makes sense to find another book for the same parcel. Look for one among our other advertisements on Gumtree.

- Doris Day Confidential Hollywood Sex & Stardom Book Tamar JeffersRIP Doris Day was a major star during the 1950s and 60s.

Although this assumption is widespread, close attention to the facts of Day's own life challenges it, and the majority of her film roles also prove otherwise, with Day most frequently$50SHIPPING OFFEREDParramatta, NSW•17w
