Leg-Irons On Wings
By James Francis Dwyer
Published by Georgian House: Melbourne 1949 1st Edition

" Leg-Irons on Wings is the autobiographical work of Australian-born writer James Francis Dwyer, tracing an extraordinary life that carried him from a troubled youth into the worlds of imprisonment, journalism, travel and literature. Dwyer writes with the perspective of a man who experienced severe hardship firsthand before establishing himself as a successful author, giving the book a vivid and unusual place within Australian literary autobiography.

The narrative follows Dwyer's passage from confinement and adversity toward a wider life of travel and writing, reflecting on the people, places and incidents that shaped him along the way. The title itself captures the central contrast of the book: the restrictions of his early life set against the freedom later achieved through movement, experience and literary success. A foreword is provided by Sir Frank Fox, O.B.E.

Published by Georgian House, Melbourne, in 1949, this is the First Edition, wholly set up and printed in Australia by The Hawthorn Press. The volume includes a photographic portrait frontispiece of James Francis Dwyer dated October 1949 and is an appealing example of post-war Australian biographical and literary publishing."
