LIFE AND MYTH OF CHARMIAN CLIFT, The. Wheatley, Nadia. Flamingo, large paperback (stiff pictorial card), 2002, 739 pages, illustrated. (Heavy book - postage additional to standard rate may apply: you will be emailed with details.) Charmian Clift was a dynamic larger-than-life character. Writer of fiction and travel books, journalist with an enthusiastic audience, she teamed up with fellow writer George Johnston and eventually they made their home on a remote Greek island. Charmian also had another side - as a photographic model, winning the NSW title of the Pix Beach Girl competition in 1941 (there is charming photo of her in the book). The book is enhanced with three excellent sections of B&W photos. This copy has obviously been read but has only light wear and is generally good.
