"BONY AT BERMAGUI" available in hard back & soft cover. Released March 2022
"WALKABOUT" SPECIAL COLLECTORS EDITION IN HARDBACK, 100 ONLY.
I am proud to have just released for the first time in store and online, WALKABOUT, 13 of many journeys taken by my Grandfather throughout Australia.
* A personal quote from Arthur, " In me was born a passionate love for the Australian bush which will burn until the end, a love stronger than love of family, so strong that even now it threatens to claim me" unquote.
Arthur Upfield is known internationally for his crime novels featuring Bony, the Aboriginal Detective. In these thirteen stories written for Walkabout magazine between 1934 and 1949 and published in book form for the first time, readers will travel well beyond the cities, aided by maps and original photographs - through Cooper's Creek, visiting Lake Frome in South Australia, patrol the rabbit-proof fence in the West, pearling in Broome or go angling for Swordfish at Bermagui. Many of these stories give colour and detail to his more celebrated novels using the same settings as his crime novels. Another describes the Australian Geographical Society's 5000 mile venture from Perth to the Kimberleys and back, which was led by Upfield in 1948.
Truly a book to remind us of the "walkabout" - a journey (originally on foot) undertaken by the Australian Aboriginal in order to live in the traditional manner.

Out Now, The Murchison Murder in colour with more details on the case.
Here is Arthur's new cover for "Beyond The Mirage" which is at the printers now. Early thoughts are that we may change the cover every twelve months with a different photo of AWU depicting his life over the period of the book

All 29 Bonys are now available worldwide, corrected for the first time, and issued in a uniform style as below. Any other "cover" will be a pirate copy, and not corrected. The 8 Bonys that have variant US titles (like Bony #1 - The Barrakee Mystery / The Lure of the Bush) have that title on the title page as well, and this title was extensively edited for the US market. So try and get this corrected Bony #1.
