OTHER NOTES
By her own admission, Colleen McCullough destroyed much of her early work prior to her first published novel,
Tim, in a symbolic bonfire: "... after
Tim was published, I ... burned all save one of my existing efforts. I wanted to make sure nothing existed that was inferior to
Tim."(1)
These surviving drafts represent rare primary records of the earliest known unpublished novel of arguably Australia's most successful author.
