Hear the Train Blow: The Classic Autobiography of Growing Up in the Bush by Patsy Adam-Smith

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Foxing to foredges and some pages. Binding is still good.

Hear the Train Blow is the true story of a remarkable young girl growing up in the bush during the Great Depression. It is a magical book brimming with warmth, sadness, and memories of life as it was lived before radio, TV, and even electricity reached the hard areas on the edge of the outback.

Patsy has illustrated her story with her Mother’s photographs, taken with a box brownie and treasured in faded albums over the years. (book flap)
