Added: Nov 2, 2026
Jorgen Jorgenson (1780–1841) was a Danish-born adventurer who briefly ruled Iceland as a self-appointed administrator in 1809, earning him the nickname 'the Convict King'. Transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1826, he worked there as an explorer, constable — including in parties sent against Tasmanian Aboriginal people — and newspaper editor, before receiving a full pardon in 1835.

The Sooterkin | Tom Gilling | 1999 [USED – SC – Out of Print]
Set in early 19th century Hobart Town, The Sooterkin is a darkly comic novel about a convict woman who gives birth to a creature that may or may not be human — a being the colonists cannot categorise and don't know what to do with. Tom Gilling uses the premise to examine colonial society's obsessions with classification, propriety and the fear of the strange in Van Diemen's Land.
