King of the Wilderness: The Life of Deny King

There seemed to be nothing Deny King couldn't do. He was a painter, a tin miner, an environmentalist and collector -- Banksia Kingii was named in his honour. He spent fifty years living self-sufficiently in the rugged Tasmanian south-west and became internationally renowned for his exploits on land and sea. King of the Wilderness brings to life a man of strength and ingenuity, a man who made an indelible impression on everyone who met him.Mattingley, Christobel is the author of 'King of the Wilderness: The Life of Deny King', published 2002 under ISBN 9781877008412 and ISBN 1877008419.
