Born in England to Orthodox Jewish parents, Benjamin Farjeon rejected his strict religious upbringing and decamped for Australia as a young man. Grif: A Story of Australian Life, one of Farjeon's most popular novels and a runaway bestseller in its day, draws heavily upon his own experiences of coming to the country and making his way in a wholly unfamiliar culture.
