The Forgotten Children - David Hill

"Here for the first time, is the story of the Fairbridge children, from the bizarre luxury of the voyage out to Australia to the harsh reality of the first days there, from the physical and sexual abuse and inedible food to the loneliness and appalling standard of education. This acclaimed book is a remarkable tribute to the children who were betrayed by an ideal that went terribly awry."
