“The untiring research done by authors Dagmar Balcarek and Gary Dean, and the facts, information and photos supplied by myself, combine to present a fascinating insight into the lives of Jack Kelly (brother of Ned Kelly), and his wife, Violet.  The story paints, as closely as possible, a true and accurate picture of how Jack Kelly and his wife, Violet, made a name for themselves through sheer hard work and their passionate love of horses.  You will read of the hardships they suffered while traveling the world; how they overcame adversity to become in the eyes and hearts of all who knew them an everlasting, though little known, piece of our Australiana – Lilian Elsie Channel”
