Cemeteries are full of stories and Sydney's three earliest burial grounds: The Old Burial Ground, Devonshire Street Sandhills Cemetery and the grand Rookwood Necropolis, tell stories of Sydney's notables - the famous and the infamous. Each chapter in this fascinating collection tells of notable burials of convicts, bushrangers, merchants, artists and dreamers, rebels and eccentrics and, also how Australian society's attitude to death has changed over the past two hundred years. The book is 688 pages. Illustrated throughout with rare archival images.
