• HEAR THE TRAIN BLOW - The true story of Patsy Adam-Smith's bush upbringing during the Great Depression.  These were days of yabbying and rabbiting, of learning to dance the three-hop polka, of tin-kettling newly-weds in the velvety blackness of night.  Throughout it was a time for learning, for devouring books and for satisfying a powerful thrist for knowledge.
• GOODBYE GIRLIE - In this much-loved sequel to Hear the Train Blow, Patsy picks up her story at the end of the Depression.  Goodbye Girlie recounts a rich but often troubled life.  Patsy writes with wit and insight of here illegitimacy, her family, her short-lived war-time marriage (which left her with two small children to raise alone), her years at sea and her loves.  And, of course,she writes about her extraordinary career - a career that spanned more than forty years and produced over thirty books.
• THERE WAS A SHIP:- Tells of Patsy's love affair with the sea and ships, with the small ketches that no longer trade around the Australian coastline, and with the remote lifestyle of Cape Barren Islanders, the lighthouse families and the mutton birders.  Much of what she describes so vividly is gone forever, but her fascination with a unique way of life paints a brilliant, and unforgettable picture."
