Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages are starting to sun.

While Snowy and Simmo stretch out the painting of the publican's roof and wangle their way into any bits of work they can find, Snowy tells tales of the notorious, inventive and lovable Chilla. Chilla's roguish scams and road nous soon endear him to us forever and, just here and there, we find ourselves brushing away a tear as well.

Chilla's Apprentice is a collection of tales of vanishing Australia during the Great Depression. It's an Australia populated by wandering swagmen on foot, exploring the length and breadth of the country and making camp whenever possible. It's a world of hardship, humour, resourcefulness, and a spirit that never says die. (back cover)
