Ion Idriess Letters

Ion Idriess wrote over 50 books between 1931 and 1969, including the very popular Prospecting for Gold (1931), Lasseter's Last Ride (1932), and The Cattle King (1935). This book focusses on his working correspondence from 1933 to 1935, as he attempted to draw stories, facts and photographs into his working archive, for books such as Drums of Mer (1933), The Yellow Joss (1934), Man Tracks (1935) and Forty Fathoms Deep (1937). Collated and transcribed by Dr David A. Paterson from hand-written letters in the author's archive, here is a unique way into the complex mind of one of Australia's best-loved and most collected authors. Also available as a limited first edition of 86 hasrdbacks.
