A NEW BOOK TITLED 'FAR BEYOND THE FALLS'
BY ALAN CRICHTON.

A FANTASTIC WORK OF FICTION.

Many readers of this site will already know who Alan Crichton is.

For those who are not familiar with his work I shall give you a quick insight.

Alan is the author of 'BOUND FOR JUDGEMENT' a book of VERSE about the life and times of Ned Kelly.

Now Alan's new book is a novel about the Delaney boys living in North East Victoria during the first
world war period. (You may recall that the Delaney family were Kelly sympathisers.)

Alan is offering readers of 1880 the opportunity of reading this new work prior to its publication.
Each week visitors of 1880 will be able to read a subsequent chapter of his book. 
There are sixteen chapters in all and each will be presented here free of charge.

I am among the lucky few who have read the entire book, I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised with the many twists and turns.

As Alan explained: "Glenrowan 1880 is offering its readers to join the Delaney boys on a fictitious journey of adventure 
for the next 16 weeks. It's 1916 and the Delaneys are waiting."

SYNOPSIS.

Michael Delaney had answered his country’s call to arms.

In June of 1916, like so many other young Australian men, found

himself fighting for king and country on a battlefield somewhere in

France.

Little did he know of the events taking place in his hometown of

Wangaratta.

A father’s death; a grandfather’s secret; and an outlaw’s

mysterious message from beyond the grave.

A message that would ultimately send three young boys on a journey

of discovery through the rugged bushland of north eastern Victoria,

leaving a brother to carry the burden of a terrible guilt that would

haunt him for the rest of his life.

This story is about a simple country family who laughed, cried,

and through love, endured the pain of irreplaceable loss.
