Selected and edited by celebrated Australian naturalist and journalist Alec H. Chisholm, this landmark anthology gathers the finest voices in Australian natural history writing, chronicling the continent's extraordinary flora and fauna through prose of remarkable clarity and passion. Illustrated with delicate drawings on silk by Margaret Coen, the volume presents an aesthetic experience as refined as the literature it contains.\n\nChisholm, a towering figure in Australian ornithology and nature journalism, brings both scholarly authority and genuine wonder to his curation, drawing together writers who capture the Australian bush, its creatures, and its landscapes with an intimacy that no field guide could replicate. The anthology argues, implicitly but powerfully, that Australia's natural world is not merely a scientific subject but a source of profound cultural and spiritual identity. Whether you are a lifelong naturalist or a curious newcomer to the great southern land, Land of Wonder will leave you hungry to understand what still remains wild and undiscovered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203162251483,"sku":"2026200014952-SECONDHAND","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/70494a23-26a8-48bf-a081-273cda1812e5.png?v=1788144801","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014952-secondhand-land-of-wonder-the-best-australian-nature-writing","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
