Description 266 pages ; 21 cm Summary "In Ballarat, Bary Dowling's Mudeye begins, a luminous tale of childhood, family tensions and the love between a father and son. Mudeye is also a snapshot of Australia as it once was, particularly of old gold town Ballarat during the second world war occupation by American troops. And there are shades of All Creatures Great and Small here as a vet and his son travel the country together. Barry Dowling writes vividly of the bewilderment of boyhood and of his delight in the natural world, but as childhood is left behind, memories darken and Mudeye moves toward a contemporary and moving finale." -- BOOK JACKET Notes CIP confirmed Subject Dowling, Bary -- Childhood and youth.
