Peter Biddulph: The Story of an Australian Settler Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Peter Biddulph: The Story of an Australian Settler" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a historical fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. It narrates the compelling journey of Peter Biddulph, who transforms from a destitute orphan scavenging along the Thames into a settler in Australia. The book explores themes of perseverance, morality, and the harsh realities of life as Peter navigates the challenges of his early years and the subsequent hardships faced by his family in a new land. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Peter as a young boy living on a barge with his mother after the death of his father. Following their descent into poverty, they struggle to survive until Peter encounters Mr. Wells, a shipowner who, impressed by Peter's honesty, takes him in. The opening chapters detail Peter's formative experiences, including his tireless work as a "mudlark" on the banks of the Thames, his apprenticeship at sea, and his eventual decision to immigrate to Australia with his family. These early pages set the foundation for a tale rich with adventure, the pursuit of a better life, and the trials that accompany the immigrant experience.
