Summary

Bruce experienced first-hand life at the top of Melbourne's social strata in the early 20th century. In rich detail, he describes his childhood years living at Harrison House in Spring Street, and paints a vivid picture of inner-city Melbourne in the early to mid- 1900s. His family's social standing gave Bruce a rare perspective on Melbourne life, as illustrated through his many brushes with iconic politicians and celebrities over the years.
