The Viking of Van Diemen's Land

The Viking of Van Diemen's Land: the stormy life of Jorgen Jorgensen is a 1954 Australian book by Frank Clune and P. R. Stephensen about Jørgen Jørgensen.

The book had come from notes which Clune had made over eighteen years and from the work of researchers employed on contract, and was written up in a dramatic manner.

With its impressive bibliography, it illustrates Clune's strengths and weaknesses: an ability to ferret out information, but a desire to embroider it.

"[6] The Herald said "The book is written In a much more lucid and graceful style than one usually associates with Mr Clune.

"[7] The Daily Mirror said the authors "seem to have a gift for history rather than literature and have managed to write an uninteresting book about a most interesting personality.
