Roy Williams with Elizabeth Myers
Almost every day for 35 years, Arthur Stace spent hours writing a single
word - Eternity - on and around the streets of Sydney. Sometimes his
mission took him much further afield, to country New South Wales and
even to Melbourne.
Stace's identity was a mystery for more than two decades. Then, after
his 'unmasking' in 1956, he became a reluctant folk hero. By the time he
died, in 1967, his was a household name and the word Eternity was
ingrained in the soul of Sydney. It still is.
In this long-awaited biography, the full story of Arthur Stace's life is
told for the first time in vivid and often surprising detail. Drawing
upon many original sources, some never before made public, this book
will engross Christians and non-believers alike - anyone who loves a
great Australian story.
