Review:

Very tender, very touching, and sketched out with no sign of strain. The descriptions of the Australian bush are first-rate. (New Statesman)

A deeply-felt book, filled with information about desert flora and fauna. (Times Literary Supplement)

A small classic, pared down to the bare bones. many will not only enjoy it, but long remember it. (New York Times)
