Raconteur Courtenay loved a good story,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url]
He said he had been a storyteller ever since he was bullied in an orphanage as a child.
'Do I exaggerate? You bet I exaggerate,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url],' he said. 'I take a fact,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカレディースダウンジャケット[/b][/url], put a top hat on it, a silk shirt and a bow tie and striped trousers and a tail coat and a pair of tap shoes and I do a Fred Astaire with a fact.
'But I don't ruin the fact. I never ruin the fact,[url=http://duveticashop.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ 激安[/b][/url]. I'm just giving it life.'
What is beyond doubt about Courtenay's life is that he burst onto Australia's - and the world's - publishing scene in 1989 with his first book,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], The Power Of One.
He went on to turn out another 20 page-turners, most of them set in South Africa or Australia and full of plot and colourful characters.
Courtenay's books, which include The Potato Factory, Tommo Hawk,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], Jessica, and Whitethorn, were enormously popular. 'Sometimes it's absurd, sometimes it's ridiculous,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ偽物[/b][/url], often it's laughable. And sometimes it's very close to being a lie.'
Arthur Bryce Courtenay was born on August 14,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], 1933, in a small town in the Lebombo Mountains to a single mother, Maude Jasmine Greer, a dressmaker and shop assistant.
She gave Bryce and his older sister,[url=http://duveticajacketswomenjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ 通販[/b][/url], Rosemary, the surname Courtenay, although their father was apparently Arthur Ryder,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ 激安[/b][/url], a married clothing salesman whom the children believed was their godfather.
In later life,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], Courtenay sometimes said he was an orphan, and at other times said he had been placed in an orphanage because his mother was poor and mentally unstable.
According to Courtenay, the orphanage was outside Duiwelskloof,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ取扱店神戸[/b][/url], at the base of the Limpopo mountains.
Fairfax journalist Jane Cadzow tracked down Courtenay's sister, Rosemary Anderson,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], in the US for a Good Weekend article published early in 2012.
Anderson told Cadzow The Power Of One 'wasn't at all what our childhood had been' and expressed doubts about her brother's accounts of long and harrowing years spent in an orphanage.
Although the siblings had 'a difficult start in life' with their mother, who was subject to nervous breakdowns, Anderson said they had spent only 'a matter of weeks or months' in an orphanage when Bryce was five years old.
Courtenay was proud of his reputation for delivering manuscripts to his publishers on time. He wrote on his Facebook page: 'You will be pleased to know that I am currently feeling well,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ偽物[/b][/url], and am busy gardening,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], and writing a collection of short stories,[url=http://duveticashop.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], as well as being with our beloved pets.'
He told A Current Affair he wanted to be buried in a cardboard box. 'And then they are going to plant a tree on top of it - no tombstones, no here lies the old bugger',[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], nothing - just a beautiful tree is going to grow up.'
Courtenay died at his Canberra home at 11.30pm on Thursday,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ ダウンジャケット[/b][/url], aged 79. Now,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], as my story draws to an end, may I say only,[url=http://duveticajacketswomenjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ 激安[/b][/url], thank you. You have been simply wonderful.'
