Reviews

[Liz · Rating 5 out of 5]

I may be biased because Hubert Wilkins was my first cousin twice removed, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. I have listened to Simon Nasht speak and the book embellished his talk. The information has been well researched and is as accurate as it can be. Old accounts of Hubert's life that I have read contained some more fanciful exploits, which I would love to be true, but probably aren't. Simon Nasht has provided enough detailed information for this book to be made into a wonderful movie about one of the greatest achievers that Australia has ever produced.
