Once Upon A Mountain

Biography & Memoir History Australiana

Once Upon a Mountain by Bruce Mcdonald is an engaging non‑fiction work that weaves Australian history, geography and true stories into a narrative suitable for both young adults and adult readers. The 2002 trade paperback explores the continent’s past and places, offering a vivid portrait of Australia’s cultural landscape.

Printed in English, this biography‑and‑history title blends factual detail with a storytelling style that appeals to readers interested in true stories and travel. Its compact trade paperback format makes it easy to carry and share.

Both copies are gift‑inscribed and come from a smoke‑free home. The front paper of each has a map taped to it, and the front inner cover and paper show some foxing; one page bears a small mark. The books are free of dog‑ears, have tight bindings, and are in solid condition overall.

This set is a thoughtful addition for anyone collecting Australian history or looking for a well‑crafted, readable account of the nation’s past.
