Science & Nature Biography & Memoir Australiana
Elyne Mitchell’s On the Trail of the Silver Brumby invites readers into the high-country wilderness where Australia’s legendary silver brumbies still run. This 2012 illustrated hardcover blends memoir, natural history and horse lore, tracing the real landscapes and folklore that inspired her classic children’s series.
The pages are crisp, unmarked and tightly bound, housed in a bright dust jacket that makes the mountain vistas almost breathe. Generous colour plates and line drawings appear throughout, turning the book into both a story and an artful keepsake for horse lovers of any age.
Whether you ride, collect Australiana, or simply cherish campfire tales of wild horses, this very-good copy delivers Mitchell’s firsthand knowledge without a single dog-ear or whiff of smoke. A clean, tidy find ready for gifting or shelf-display.
