A Man Called Possum is Max Jones’s 1985 Australian memoir, a compact hardcover that blends autobiography, geography and cultural history into a vivid portrait of life in the bush. Young adults and older readers alike will appreciate Jones’s honest voice as he recounts the challenges and quiet triumphs that shaped his identity.

This illustrated collector’s copy features line drawings by Tony Hersey and David Gough that bring the landscapes and characters to life. The pages are clean, the binding tight, and the only mark is a previous owner’s name penned on the acknowledgement page—no dog-ears, tears or smoke odours.

An inscription on the flyleaf adds a personal touch, making the book feel like a gift passed from one adventurer to another. Whether you collect Australiana, true stories, or leisure and lifestyle narratives, this vintage edition offers a nostalgic journey through Australia’s recent past without taking up much shelf space.
