Horse & Rider In Australian Legend

Biography & Memoir History Australiana

Horse & Rider in Australian Legend by Nanette Mantle, published in 2004 by The Miagunyah Press, is a richly illustrated non‑fiction work that explores Australian folklore, horse riding history and true stories for both young adults and adult readers. The book blends elements of history, folklore, and biography, making it a versatile addition to collections focused on art, culture, and transportation.

This hardcover edition comes with its original dust jacket and full-color illustrations that bring the legends to life. The dust jacket, while present, shows a 4 cm tear on the back and a messy stain on the back inner cover, both of which are noted in the condition.

Inside, the volume bears a gift inscription and a stamp, along with minor marks consistent with light use. These details are reflected in the overall condition but do not detract from the book’s readability or visual appeal.

Overall, the book offers a warm, engaging look at Australian horse lore and is well suited for collectors of antiquarian and collectible titles, as well as readers interested in folklore, mythology, and true‑story narratives.
