Product Overview
It is the story of Alan Marshall's childhood, in which he suffered a crippling attack of poliomyelitis, but went on to do things no cripple is supposed to do.
Roaming the bush, living the rough-and-tumble life of a boy with two sound legs gloriously conquering the art of riding horses, the young hero shows that simple courage can defeat affliction when there is enough of it.This is a book that moves the reader to tears and laughter, creates a lasting admiration for an extraordinary man, and gives deep pleasure in its reawakening of times and places that are close to the essence of Australian life.
