Pisistratus Caxton tells the story of his family: his absent-minded father Austin, lost in a vast history of human error; his uncle Roland, an old soldier proud of an ancient name; his devoted mother; and the restless young Vivian, whose fate drives the slight plot. The family’s fortunes take Pisistratus from London to the Australian bush.
