Summary |
"With Dew On My Boots" is a rich evocation of the childhood of master story-teller, Colin Thiele, who has delighted every generation of Australian children for the last fifty years. A fascinating account of what it was like to grow up at a particular time and place: the predominantly German-speaking farming community of Eudunda, just north of the Barossa Valley, in the 1920s and 30s, "With Dew On My Boots" is instilled with Colin Thiele's characteristic warmth, humour and wisdom." -- BOOK JACKET |
|
"Other Footprints" traces moments in Colin's life beyond the early years. During his many journeys across the length and breadth of Australia with his wife, Rhonda, he has delighted in encounters with people of all ages in cities, country towns and 'microscopic dots on outback maps', as well as with wildlife and with the land itself. Such encounters have given Colin and Rhonda enduring memories and left them deeply grateful for the directions in which their footprints have taken them" -- BOOK JACKET |
