An excellent descriptive story of Australia in the early 1900's sharply pictures the life on a West Queensland sheep station and the development of Towser the overseer's dog, from a gangling pup into a knowledgeful shepherd. The book is long but colorfully and suspensefully written. As changes come over the station, as rivalries are squared away and as Towser and the land he lives in become vivid figures, there is a broad and literate appeal here that should not be lost on the market. Notable.
