AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It is a story of youth set in a mountainous country district, and there is mystery, Nature lore, and the lure of the bush, the kind of thing known to the Boy Scout in holiday seasons. Bill, the schoolboy who figures largely in 'Wallaby Rock,' looks fearlessly enough at life, but some of its phases with which he comes face to face are startling enough.'
