Val Jellay presents a rare insight into the hopes and dreams of a lonely, only child whose need for affection is the driving force behind the talent.
From Vaudeville to The Flying Doctors, she takes the reader through sixty gruelling years of showbusiness life, with lively humour. Constantly on the move, she has entertained everywhere from Australian outback halls to the finest theatres of England, Europe, Ireland, Africa and New Zealand. Achieving Tivoli status at sixteen presented challenges that only the most dedicated endured. Marathon working hours and strained stamina were concealed behind the gloss of sequins and satin.
Exploited in a disastrous relationship, she eventually found a love that erupted like an emotional volcano. Sometimes heartbreaking but always optimistic, she discovered, that beyond the adoration of an audience, one special human being is all any of us should really cherish.
Is filled with fantastic black and white photos, from her time performing and also her family life.

PAYMENT
It would be appreciated if you could complete checkout within 3 days and make payment within 7 days of auction ending, if you require longer then I am happy to accommodate, please just communicate this ASAP. I prefer Paypal or Internet bank transfer to be used for payment. Please note that my bank account is an Internet based one only and is not available through a local branch. Also remember to leave your user name (preferably) or ebay purchase as a reference so your payment can be readily tracked. Overseas buyers please pay by Paypal only, thanks.
POSTAGE
If you are planning to bid on more than 1 item I will always combine postage. I am happy to wait 2 weeks for you to complete purchasing items to fill a box or satchel please let me know though so I can send a combined invoice. I list new items every few days so check back regularly. I will always email you when I have posted off your items, so you have a time frame to work with for delivery. If the item does not arrive within 10 working days then please let me know so I can organise a lost/delayed item dispute with Australia Post. Generally I am able to post within 1-2 days of funds clearing.
OTHER INFO
I describe everything as I see it, however everyone has different perceptions so if you have any questions or would like extra photos then please let me know. I always try to answer emails within just a few hours but definitely within 24 hours. Please don’t leave questions to the last minute though, as I may not be online then.
OVERSEAS BUYERS
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or postage charges. These charges are your responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (postage) company or when you pick the item up; please do not confuse them for additional postage charges.
Please be sure to have a look at all of my other items on eBay.
I add more items at least on a weekly basis.
Australian buyers why not take advantage of my combined postage, fill a 3kg satchel for the one low price!!
(depending on the size and weight of your purchases)
