      abstract = {In the many years Jim has spent talking and writing about  the quirkier events and people in our history, he has come  across characters whose lives have amazed, surprised and  amused him. This is a book about some of those people and  their bizarre, remarkable and out of the ordinary lives.  And in only the way Jim can, he's discovered that there is  always more to the story than first meets the eye. Who  knew, example, that the first man hanged in Australia made  an artefact now valued at over one million dollars? Or that  an Australian swimmer was the highest paid act on the  American vaudeville circuit and the star of the first movie  ever made with a budget of one million American dollars?  And that the father of the first Australian woman to serve  in parliament was hanged for murder? These are the stories  of lives that capture the heart and soul of the Australian  character.},
