Hang On a Minute Mate Barry Crump

Hardcover with jacket, illustrated by Dennis Turner, 1962 reprint.

This novel was Barry Crump's sequel to the bestselling A Good Keen Man. The main character is Sam Cash, an engaging, yarn-spinning vagabond, who takes young Jack Lilburn under his wing on a roundabout journey. The pair drift from one job to another – forestry, horse-breaking, fencing, mustering, farming – but of equal importance to the story are the tall tales and unusual qualities of Sam Cash himself, hard-case humorist and jack-of-all-trades.

Barry Crump once again writes of back-country life as he knows it, of men who can turn their hands to any job, and he proves that a Good Keen Man was only a foretaste of the humour and story-telling of which he is capable.

Book is in good clean condition, some spotting on edges of pages and dustjacket. Inscribed with owners name and date.
