Uncle Piper of Piper's Hill is an Australian classic which challenges the conventional image of the country and its inhabitants. First published in 1889, the novel is a perceptive exploration of the clash of values between the old and the new as they are played out within one family. Uncle Piper is a self-made man who has made his fortune as a butcher; when he sends the fare to Australia to his poor but pretentious relations living in England, the drama begins. Set in Melbourne after the gold rushes of the 1850s, Tasma's fascinating first novel explores the relationship between birth and wealth, art and experience, women and men. A gripping yarn that expertly evokes a range of characters who must come to terms with the values of the new land, Uncle Piper of Piper's Hill helped to link the old country with the new and to make a claim for the establishment of Australian literature.
