Just call me Jack

JUST Call Me Jack, written by Lesley Hazlitt in her 80’s is a biography of Jack Hazlitt, a self-made, hard working Australian legend.

He was born in 1897 in Melbourne in difficult circumstances with his Father leaving his mother while he was young.

The book traces Jack Hazlitt’s busy and full life through his mischievous childhood, joining the Australian Army in 1915, serving at Gallipoli, becoming a rainmaker, working with Qantas in its infancy, marrying twice and then finally living to a ripe old age of 95.

The book is a pleasant and easy read of the history of a man who made the most of every situation that life placed him in.
