Growing up in Tasmania, Iola Mary Ballard found wisdom in the land, the people, and the companionship of a loyal dog named Cardie. Through poetic storytelling, this collection captures the essence of childhood in the Tasmanian wilderness, reflecting on moments of adventure, friendship, and discovery.
Alongside these vivid recollections, Ballard explores the power of family sayings-those timeless words of guidance passed down through generations. She traces their roots, uncovering their origins in classical literature, biblical texts, and the traditions of those who came before.
A thoughtful and heartfelt journey through memory and meaning, Tasmanian Tales & Traditions celebrates the beauty of simple truths, the wisdom of lived experience, and the enduring connection between past and present.
Iola Mary Ballard was born and grew up in Tasmania, the island state of Australia, and then adventurously travelled alone to around 80 countries on every continent except Antarctica, living in Australia, Europe including the UK, and North America. She wrote prolifically all of her life, and kept detailed diaries as well of her extensive travels and experiences.
