description: "Roughly three out of four Australians live in cities, work in shops and offices and factories, and have scarcely ever seen a sheep. I have said too little about the daily lives of these three city dwellers and too much about the fourth concerned with livestock and tillage. But then I have not tried to give a balanced picture -- merely some personal observations about some of the people, places and things that interested me most and came my way." Given Elspeth Huxley's childhood in Kenya and her lifelong affair with Africa, the appeal of Australia and particularly the outback is natural. THEIR SHINING ELDORADO is a fascinating look at Australia through the eyes of an exceptional talent.
