They Called Him Old Smoothie by Peter Golding is a richly illustrated 2009 Australian hardcover biography that traces the remarkable life of a charismatic political figure whose charm earned him the nickname "Old Smoothie." Golding blends memoir with political history, guiding readers from the halls of Parliament to the construction of the iconic Opera House and the inner workings of Australia’s parties.

Signed by the author on the title page, this collector-worthy first edition adds extra provenance to an already compelling narrative. Young adults and grown readers alike will appreciate the accessible storytelling that unpacks national events without ever feeling like a textbook.

The 484-page volume arrives in very good condition, its pages crisp and free of smoke or library markings, ready to grace an Australian history shelf or become a standout gift for biography lovers.
