Pages clean and bright. Binding tight. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteeped in the rugged heritage of early rural Australia, The Man From Curdie's River: Or Where Men Are Made is a compelling and nostalgic work by Australian author Donald Maclean. Originally written in the early 20th century, this scarce 1974 hardback edition was brought back to life by the Lowden Publishing Co. of Kilmore as part of their esteemed Historical Reprints Series.\n\nThe narrative provides an atmospheric, character-driven snapshot of pioneering life, tracking a plot deeply intertwined with themes of matehood, resilience, and the raw social fabric of the Australian bush. Part biography of a community and part cultural chronicle, Maclean’s storytelling masterfully captures the trials that shaped the identity of early settlement society. This vintage copy is preserved in good condition, featuring a clean, unmarked interior and good page quality, housed in a very good original dust jacket. It stands as a vital and highly desirable acquisition for collectors of classic Australiana, regional history, and early 20th-century local literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820234846427,"sku":"2026200006422-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/16cd5907-1ba3-4347-9bdd-ea47dff8e779.png?v=1780055057","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006422-secondhand-the-man-from-curdies-river-or-where-men-are-made","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
