George Johnston’s The World of Charmian Clift is a 1970 first-edition biography that invites readers into the vibrant, sun-soaked world of one of Australia’s most beloved mid-century writers and cultural icons. Illustrated throughout by their son, Martin Johnston, this handsome hardcover captures Clift’s life in art, literature and the Greek islands she made famous.

Collectors prize this Ure Smith volume for its rarity and the family collaboration it represents: George’s affectionate narrative paired with Martin’s evocative artwork. The 255-page book is clean, tight and unmarked inside; the dust jacket shows only light edge wear, while a nostalgic bookseller sticker on the front pastedown whispers of its 1970s Australian provenance.

Ideal for fans of literary biography, Australiana, or anyone chasing the bohemian spirit of the post-war Mediterranean, this vintage copy is ready for immediate display or reading enjoyment.
