Furphy was the child of Irish immigrants and wrote stories and poetry from a young age. I had never heard of him before and Australian friend recommended this book. Apparently some Australians use the word `furphy' to mean a tall story. If you read this book you will find many episodes that would fit that characterization.

To me it is showing as just a blank, but when I tried to re-post it just now, it tells me the link has already been submitted.
