A Fortunate Life by A.B. Facey, first published in 1982, is a celebrated Australian autobiography that blends personal memoir with broader historical insight, appealing to both young adults and adult readers interested in Australian history and true military stories.

The hardcover edition includes a dust jacket and several illustrations that enhance the narrative’s vivid recollections of early 20th‑century Australia.

The book bears an inscription and a personal stamp, with modest foxing along the closed‑page edges and a few rare pages showing a light stain at the edge; the binding remains tight and the volume has been kept in a smoke‑free home.

Its blend of autobiographical detail, military history, and cultural context makes it a warm, engaging addition to any collection of Australian non‑fiction.
