Více o knize

The narrative follows Patsy, a poor Irish boy who immigrates to Australia at seventeen and strikes gold, ultimately establishing a pastoral empire in the outback. His lifelong dream of riding a fine horse evolves as he becomes a leading horse breeder, selecting the finest thoroughbreds. This adaptation for young readers draws from historical letters and documents discovered by his granddaughter, Mary, offering a vivid portrayal of Patsy's life, complemented by illustrations from his sister, Elizabeth, from the original 1963 edition.
