Michael Baker’s Megalong Tragedy recounts a haunting true episode from Australia’s Blue Mountains, packing vivid photographs and sketches into a compact 97-page paperback that young-adult and adult readers can finish in one sitting. The biography’s fast pace and mountain setting make it a gripping choice for fans of regional histories and real-life dramas.

First released in 2001, this illustrated edition brings the remote Megalong Valley to life through on-site images and maps that sharpen the narrative. Baker balances meticulous research with crisp storytelling, giving shelf appeal to collectors of Australiana and true-crime buffs alike.

This used copy remains firmly bound and fully readable; light foxing appears only on the page edges and occasionally inside, leaving the text and illustrations bright. For bargain hunters seeking an out-of-print Australian biography, it offers authentic country-of-origin charm without the collector-tier price.
