| Notes: |
Includes index. Melbourne: a city of stories grew out of Melbourne Museums permanent exhibition, The Melbourne Story. That makes it a selective history: one based on objects - things that have survived. Melbourne: a city of stories reflects on both the place and its people, telling not the big story but the small ones as well. This book, like the exhibition on which it is based, draws the reader into a sense of exploring the citys layers through time. Its emphasis is less on the proud public record than on objects and people with stories to tell and a place in Melbournes history.
