In The Desert - Jimmy Pike as a boy

Product Description

In The Desert offers a rare glimpse into a world that few people remember and none will ever experience again. It is a true, sometimes disturbing account of the day-to-day life of the young Jimmy Pike growing up in the Great Sandy Desert, and of his journey out of the desert to a Kimberley cattle station. Some of the anecdotes are told in Pike's own words; others are retold by the author, who shared with Pike the last two decades of his life, when he became a well-known artist.
