History Australiana Travel & Exploration
Convicts Unbound: The Story of the Calcutta Convicts and Their Settlement by Australian historian Marjorie Tipping offers a vivid non‑fiction look at the transportation of convicts to India, weaving together colonial history, travel, and true‑story narrative for both young adult and adult readers.
Published in 1988 by Viking O’Neil, this hardcover edition is illustrated and comes with its original dust jacket, adding visual depth to the historical account.
The book is in solid condition with a tight binding and no dog‑ears or stuck pages; it shows water marks on many pages, minor scuffs on about a dozen leaves, and faint pencil writing on the front paper, all from a smoke‑free home.
A thoughtful addition for collectors of antiquarian and collectible history, this volume provides an engaging exploration of Australian and colonial history without compromising readability.
