This lavishly produced book features rare images of Melbourne architecture, theatre and memorabilia. Bruce McBrien experienced first-hand life at the top of Melbourne's social strata in the early 20th century. In rich detail, McBrien describes his childhood years living at Harrison House in Spring Street, and paints a vivid picture of inner-city Melbourne in the early- to mid-1900s. His family's social standing gave McBrien a rare perspective on Melbourne life, as is illustrated through his many brushes with iconic politicians, royalty and celebrities over the years. McBrien spent much of his life working as a musical theatre actor and is a passionate supporter and long-serving volunteer of the National Trust of Victoria. Marvellous Melbourne and Me details not only the varied life of the man, but also that of his city.
