Author: GROWDEN, Oliver H.
Title: Matthew Redmayne. A New Zealand Romance.
Description: London, Melbourne &c, George Robertson 1892. Octavo publisher's red cloth (spine a touch faded or rubbed). Quite a good copy. ¶ Only edition. A thriller involving a woman falsely accused of murder, an insane sister, secret correspondence, bigamy and much more. "To give an outline of the plot would be difficult, owing to its complexity, devious windings, and numerous bypaths" writes The West Australian (14th July 1893) who gives it a good review and notes that the author is believed to be a young public servant resident in Perth. Growden published more fiction in The West Australian and the Western Mail but this seems to be his only book.
