The story centers on the quiet shire of Tooramit, a town obsessed with the legend of Dick Grogan, a bushranger who has been elevated to the status of a local saint. As the town prepares to celebrate its centenary, a young folklorist arrives to uncover the true history of the infamous outlaw, threatening to dismantle the community's most cherished illusions.Through a tangled web of village secrets and family skeletons, Martin explores the gap between legend and reality. The investigation into Grogan’s past—including the ignominious way he was actually captured by Jack Bollman’s grandfather—sparks a series of comedic and dramatic events involving the local residents.\nA landmark of 1960s Australian fiction, this work masterfully balances humor with a genuine love for the Australian bush and its people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810623893723,"sku":"2026200006919-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3e49c031-da54-4ec0-b510-6851d3a4f32c.png?v=1779806186","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006919-secondhand-the-hero-of-too","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
