Quiet Footsteps

Biography & Memoir History Australiana

Quiet Footsteps by Peter Burke is a richly illustrated 1993 hardcover that invites young adults and grown readers into Australia’s rugged bushland through true hunting tales and vivid historical snapshots. Burke’s crisp storytelling captures the hush of the outback and the personalities who tracked it, making this vintage Australian non-fiction gem feel alive on every page.

The book arrives with its original dust jacket, complete with period artwork that frames the narrative’s nostalgic charm. Inside, clean pages remain free of writing and dog ears, while tight binding ensures the book sits proudly on any history, sport or biography shelf.

Expect gentle signs of a life already well read: light scuffing and two small spine dents on the jacket, a touch of thumbing to one leaf, and marks confined to the rear blank leaves only. These cosmetic notes keep the price friendly while preserving the heart of Burke’s storytelling.

Ideal for collectors of Australiana, hunting memoirs, or illustrated true stories, this copy from a smoke-free home offers an affordable way to add a piece of 1990s Australian publishing history to your library.
