About this ebook
To Ride a Fine Horse is an Australian classic - Mary Durack's Kings in Grass Castles - adapted for young readers. It tells the story of Mary's grandfather, Patsy, a poor Irish boy who came to Australia at seventeen, made his fortune on the gold fields, and then founded a pastoral empire in the remote outback. Patsy's ambition had always been to 'ride a fine horse,' but he would far exceed this dream, becoming one of the nation's top horse breeders, with his choice of the finest thoroughbred mounts in the land. This account of Patsy Durack's life is based on letters, notebooks, and documents discovered by his granddaughter Mary in an old tin trunk more than fifty years after his death. The illustrations that appear throughout the text are the work of Mary's sister, Elizabeth, and are reproduced from the original 1963 edition.
