Chasing a Dream: The Les Carlyon Collection gathers the celebrated Australian journalist’s best short non-fiction on horses, racing and the people who live for them. Carlyon’s vivid sketches of turf legends, bush tracks and stud farms make this 1988 hardcover a must-have for lovers of equestrian sport and Australian sporting history.

The volume spans memoir, true racing tales and colourful biography, all delivered in the author’s trademark crisp prose. Whether recalling champion thoroughbreds or the rituals of a country race day, Carlyon captures the heartbeat of Australia’s racing culture.

This vintage first edition arrives in very good shape: clean, unmarked pages, square binding, and an intact dust jacket showing only light shelf scuffing and a single scratch to the rear. No inscriptions, ex-libris plates, or smoke odours—just a tidy copy ready for the shelf.

Ideal for collectors of Australian sporting literature, horse-racing enthusiasts, or anyone seeking an engaging introduction to Les Carlyon’s storytelling. Secure this scarce hardcover today and settle in for a gallop through racing’s most memorable moments.
