A Horse of Air - Dal Stivens
A Horse of Air - Dal Stivens
A boy and a wild horse. The Australian bush. Freedom that borders on obsession.
When twelve-year-old Alan befriends a brumby stallion in the high country, the bond becomes his world. The novel follows that fierce attachment to animal, to land, to the idea of untamed life...and the cost of holding too tightly to it.
Stivens writes the bush as living presence: harsh, luminous, unsentimental. This isn’t nostalgic Australiana. It’s about independence and the moment childhood tips into something more complicated.
Winner of the Miles Franklin Award 1971.
For readers drawn to Australian landscapes, coming of age stories, and books where the natural world isn’t backdrop but force
