The autobiography of Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, and the story of the justice system that betrayed her. This edition features a revised introduction and new epilogue bringing the reader up-to-date with events since the first edition was published in 1990.

The Crown offered no eyewitnesses, no body, no confession and no motive. So why did it take seven years, two inquests, one trial, two appeals and one inquiry to decide in favour of Lindy and Michael Chamberlain? After distiling the essence of this saga's first six years, Ken Crispin focusses on the Morling Commission of Inquiry.

Dr Michael Chamberlain has written an account of the ten controversial court cases held since the day a dingo killed his daughter, Azaria Chamberlain, at Ayers Rock on 17 August, 1980.

What happens when the truth gets lost? Where wild animals and people meet, tragedy can strike, But when a tiny baby is stolen by a dingo, people simply cannot accept such a thing.

The court case captivated a nation. A mother accused of murdering her child, her claim that the baby was taken by a dingo denied and discredited by zealous police and a flawed legal system. The media circus, the rumours, the nations prejudices laid bare. And in the eye of the storm: Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton. Over three decades, from baby Azarias death to the final coroners report, the publics fascination with Lindy seldom waned. The National Library holds a collection of more than 20,000 letters to Lindy. From sympathy to abuse, from marriage proposals to death threats, the correspondence traverses the gamut of responses to Lindys story. Letters to Lindy draws on this correspondence and interviews with Lindy herself. It is an enthralling, revealing, and long overdue dialogue between Lindy and the nation; a portrait of the wisdom and resilience of a grieving mother. This new work by award-winning playwright Alana Valentine ( Ladies Day, Parramatta Girls) explores the publics relationship with one of Australias most iconic figures. (2 acts, 2 male, 2 female).

The Lindy Chamberlain trial dominated the media landscape in the 1980s as a major miscarriage of justice unfolded. The Chamberlain Case delivers a comprehensive account of the case's intricacies, including the forensic evidence, prejudicial media coverage, scapegoating and religious vilification. Lindy Chamberlain relates her experiences of the trial, and there are contributions by eyewitnesses, members of the Chamberlain defence, academic experts and distinguished authors, as well as extracts from each of the eight judicial findings. The Chamberlain case is one that continues to resonate with Australians.
