Biography & Memoir History Antiquarian & Collectable
One In Ten Thousand by Australian author John Smyth is a concise non‑fiction memoir that offers a vivid glimpse into rural life down under. Blending autobiography with historical detail, the 96‑page paperback captures the everyday challenges and joys of farm work and animal husbandry.
Smyth’s narrative weaves personal recollections with broader Australian history, making the book appealing to both young adult and adult readers interested in true stories, biographies and Australian heritage. The memoir’s straightforward style and engaging anecdotes provide an accessible entry point into the country’s past.
The copy is in good condition overall, though the cover shows some fading, scuffing and wear, and there is a stamp and light thumbing on the cover page. Inside, four pages show minor thumbing, the binding remains tight, and the book has been kept in a smoke‑free home.
Collectors of vintage Australian history and memoirs will find this well‑preserved paperback a valuable addition to their shelves.
