Rubbed edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the drawing rooms of colonial Melbourne to the grand estates of Europe, Riders of Time is a richly woven memoir by one of Australia's most celebrated social figures, Lady Mabel Brookes, chronicling a life lived at the very intersection of history and privilege. With illustrations by Harold Freedman lending a vivid visual dimension to the narrative, the book presents a sweeping personal account of the people, places, and defining moments that shaped Australian society across the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.\n\nLady Brookes writes with the authority of an eyewitness to history, her prose animated by a keen social intelligence and an aristocratic elegance that reflects her unique vantage point among statesmen, artists, and luminaries of the British Empire. Riders of Time stands as both a personal testament and a valuable social document, illuminating the textures of a vanished world with warmth and sharp observation — leaving the reader to wonder what secrets of that gilded age still remain unwritten.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49131000430811,"sku":"2026200009685-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1005928d-cfb5-4980-ba33-166b9adabcf9.png?v=1786594222","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009685-secondhand-riders-of-time","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
