«In Tasmania» is Nicholas Shakespeare's history and travel essay, published by Vintage in paperback (384 pages, in English).
Nicholas Shakespeare combines the history of two turbulent centuries of Tasmania with a travel narrative and a personal quest: Errol Flynn, the king of Iceland, a village of Chatwins and a family of Shakespeares all appear. The author shows that the Tasmanian Aborigines did not disappear completely, despite the purges of the nineteenth century.
The book won the Tasmania Book Prize at the 2007 Tasmanian Premier's Literary Prizes.
Aimed at readers of history, travel and narrative non-fiction, with an interest in Australia and Tasmania.
