Uralla, NSW: Idriess Enterprises, 2008. Hardback small quarto, dustjacket, as new condition (in as new dustjacket), minimal edgewear jacket. 208 pp. This is a collection of the contributions of Ion Idriess to The Bulletin, the weekly magazine that was first published in 1880 and became an Australian institution of the 20th century. Most were written under a pen-name (Gouger was the most common), and have not been recognised, let alone collected before. This collection is a window into Australia's past, which has been revealed by a master storyteller who was an astute observer of nature, the environment and people, and often told with humour. These early paragraphs give an insight into a fascinating man. Compiled by Idriess collector Jim Bradley.
