Book Description

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

The songlines are the invisible pathways that criss-cross Australia, ancient tracks connecting communities and following age-old boundaries. Along these lines, Aboriginal peoples passed down songs that revealed the creation of the land and the secrets of its past.

In this magical account, Chatwin recalls his travels across the length and breadth of Australia, seeking the truth about the songs and unravelling the mysteries of their stories.
