True History Of The Kelly Gang
Biography & Memoir Australiana Historical Fiction
Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang re-imagines Australia’s most famous outlaw in raw, poetic prose that swept the 2001 Booker Prize. This celebratory hardcover from the original Australian publisher, UQP, presents Ned Kelly’s voice as if torn from a weather-worn journal, blending bushranger legend with colonial history for adults and older teens alike.
The novel’s rugged charm is echoed by the book itself: a sturdy cloth-bound edition protected by a crisp dust jacket. A 2000 publication date places it close to the prize-winning moment, making the celebratory printing an appealing collectable for Carey fans and Australiana hunters.
Condition remains gently used—pages clean and tight, jacket showing only minor shelf rub and a small mark to the closed edge. No inscriptions, no smoke or musty odours, just the honest wear of a book that has waited patiently for a new shelf.
Add this piece of Australian literary history to your collection and feel the dust of the Kelly gang’s last stand settle on your fingertips.
