The Morning Was Shining

By John Hetherington

Published by Faber and Faber: London 1971 1st Edition


" Jack Aikman (John) Hetherington (1907-1974), author and journalist, was born on 3 October 1907 at Sandringham, Melbourne, younger son of Victorian-born parents Hector Hetherington, grocer, and his wife Agnes, née Bowman. Educated at Sandringham State School and (on a chorister's scholarship) at All Saints Grammar School, St Kilda, Jack left at 16 to join the Evening Sun as a copy-taker. His first short story was published in the Australasian in 1925, the year in which he moved to the Herald & Weekly Times Ltd as a journalist; by 1934 he was writing a daily column and editing the Sun News-Pictorial's Saturday magazine. Next year he worked his passage to England. Based in London, he survived by writing stories about the Australian outback for popular magazines, and by working as a sub-editor and wire-service reporter. En route to Australia, he spent six months in the United States of America with Australian Associated Press."
