All of the info in one place

‘Ranks with some of the best expository prose of recent years in this or any other country’

Brilliantly witty...a wonderfully innocent, beguiling book

Fletcher's romantic liaisons, flirtations with the rich and famous ... make for a rollicking read

‘Can one really be so blessed with a Fred and Olive for a Mum and Dad?’

A real page turner that fills in the gaps between history and what the media portrays

Among the dozens of books written on the most influential Australian in history, at least a couple of biographies are instructive. That of Neil Chenoweth and William Shawcross. But without a doubt the most instructive, emotional, enlightening, and ironic is the Australian journalist Hugh Lunn’s "Working for Rupert" 

Hugh Lunn writes of his Brisbane suburban childhood with great feeling and affection. It’s a book that had me roaring with laughter…a warm, witty and amusing remembrance.

‘Sometimes scarifyingly brutal’

A glittering gem of a memoir.

“A wonderful, wonderful read. It takes pride of place in my house. I’m a very proud Australian and the things that that book covered, it was me. And I’m sure a lot of people saw themselves in all the things described. It was all very, very true.”

Searingly funny account of growing up in a working-class family in 1950s Australia…holds a special place in the heart of thousands of Australians and that has made Hugh Lunn a national treasure.

Reading The Great Fletch, I could smell the gum leaves.

" Very funny and irreverent…a classic."

‘Powerful, sensitive and often poignant account of young adulthood in the ’60s’

“Hugh has provided us with a large number of candid insights into his formative years, even some scarifyingly brutal insights. I’m impressed by the number of occasions when the notion of impure thoughts is mentioned… It’s an affectionate, slightly wistful, and embarrassingly accurate account of the way I remember growing up.”

Think Russell Crowe in tennis whites

One of the best political books produced in recent years

‘Ken Fletcher was the James Bond of the tennis world. Think Russell Crowe in tennis whites’

“An embarrassing book to read in public. I defy you to read it without laughing out loud.”

‘Has written truly about the Vietnam War. Even the lies are true’

‘A marvellous ability to take us back in time to where nostalgia meets reality’

A universal story about growing up.

‘Without a doubt the most instructive, emotional, enlightening and ironic book on Rupert Murdoch’

When I read your books I return to another world.

“A triumph for Australian publishing.”

A beautiful evocation of childhood. Don’t miss reading Over the Top with Jim. It’s one of the funniest most moving autobiographies around.

A revealing, funny read for anyone interested in how the media works
