Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. A very good clean copy. The remarkable true story of an Australian bush recluse who abandoned conventional society to live alone along the banks of the Murray River for more than fifty years.

Intrigued by rumours surrounding the mysterious figure, a South Australian police detective spent nearly thirty years attempting to discover his identity and understand why he had withdrawn from society. Through patient investigation, occasional encounters and an eventual friendship, the detective gradually uncovered the man's extraordinary life story. Combining biography, bush adventure and detective investigation, the book offers a fascinating account of independence, survival and solitude in the Australian bush. N° de réf. du vendeur 054030

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
