These men endured terrible hardships, and frequently faced grim tragedy. Mr Idriess writes of it all, and writes of it as if he had been with them. What a romance! What a story! It is packed with adventure, studded with splendid pen-pictures of pioneer prospectors, airmen, and patrol officers, and told with a fascinating simplicity that is borne from something very close to genius.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e- Brisbane Courier, 1933.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ion Idriess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1923205838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781923205833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ETT Imprint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Ion Idriess","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419805368575,"sku":"9781923205833","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f793e82-ec68-47ee-93e9-0fac73749412.jpg?v=1761513955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gold-dust-and-ashes-ion-idriess-9781923205833","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
