The Midas Man
The Midas Man by Kevin Perkins offers a vivid look at Australian horse‑riding culture, blending biography, sport history and true‑story narrative for both young adult and adult readers. Perkins draws on his deep knowledge of equestrian sports to portray the world of field and racing events with a lively, accessible voice.
Set against the backdrop of 1990s Australia, the book explores the intersection of animal sports, leisure pursuits and the nation’s broader historical currents. Readers will find engaging anecdotes about horses, field sports and the people who shape them, making it a compelling addition to any collection of biographies, sports history or animal‑focused non‑fiction.
Published in 1993 by Macmillian, this first‑edition paperback includes its original dust jacket, preserving the book’s classic look. The title is listed as The Midas Man TJ, reflecting its original Australian release.
The copy comes from a smoke‑free home and is in solid condition: the binding is tight, pages are clean and tidy with no dog‑ears or tears, and only minor foxing appears on the closed page edges. The front paper bears an inscription, noted as part of the book’s condition.
