  The Postcard Bandit

  The authorised biography of notorious professional criminal Brenden Abbott chronicling his extraordinary life on the run and decades in maximum security. 
   
   
  Bank robber. Fugitive. Womaniser. Comedian. Conman. Chameleon. How the Postcard Bandit put his stamp on Australia... and paid the price. 
   
  Brenden Abbott escaped custody three times and was a fugitive for more than six years, using sophisticated disguises, fake identities and safehouses to become the nation's most successful and feared bank robber, reaping millions of dollars. 
   
  They called him the Postcard Bandit, after a series of photos emerged of Abbott living the high life of a rich tourist at iconic Australian locations. 
   
  Cunning and shrewd, he used self-taught skills in make-up to create convincing disguises, computers to create false IDs, and electronics to dodge alarms and police. Weeks were spent planning each robbery, observing staff, identifying weaknesses in security, patterns of behaviour and the layout of the banks. 
   
  These intelligence-gathering skills also aided both of his audacious prison escapes, and detectives who have interviewed Abbott say he relentlessly probes for information. 
   
  Less than three years after his recapture, he escaped from a Queensland prison amid a hail of gunfire and became the nation's most wanted man. When they finally caught him, Abbott was cast into a specially built solitary confinement cell, and furious authorities set about trying to break his spirit with endless years of isolation. 
   
  Abbott was held in maximum security in Queensland until he was transferred to Casuarina Prison in Western Australia in 2016. He is eligible for parole in 2028, but claims that after three decades in prison, he's now wrongfully imprisoned. Abbott continues to fight in court for his freedom, desperate to spend time with the son he's only ever known through prison bars. 
   
   
  'Pedley nails the true story of Australia's Dillinger, Brenden Abbott, whose life and crimes raise echoes that go all the way back to Ned Kelly and Ben Hall.' ANDREW RULE, author of The Chosen Few

  Arthur Conan Doyle

  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was one of the most successful and influential writers of the modern age, a novelist, physician, historian, and public intellectual whose creations continue to shape popular culture more than a century after his death. Though he wrote across many genres, his name remains forever linked with one of literature's most famous characters. 
   
  Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859, Doyle trained as a doctor before turning increasingly to writing. His greatest achievement was the creation of Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant consulting detective whose adventures in works such as A Study in Scarlet and The Hound of the Baskervilles helped establish the modern detective story. Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson became literary icons recognized throughout the world. Yet Doyle's career extended far beyond Baker Street. He wrote historical novels, science fiction, adventure stories, plays, and works of nonfiction. In later life, he became deeply involved in public causes, legal campaigns, and the study of spiritualism, often attracting as much attention for his personal beliefs as for his literary achievements. 
   
  This biography traces Doyle's journey from young physician to international literary celebrity. Drawing upon letters, memoirs, historical records, and contemporary accounts, it explores his life, imagination, achievements, and enduring legacy.

Teachers for Life introduces us to two educators who seize this very opportunity. No longer in 
  traditional classrooms, they embark on a journey to re-engage with their past students, not to amend their earlier mistakes, but to bridge the gaps they’ve perceived since leaving their formal roles.
