Why read it?

1 author picked I Can Jump Puddles as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m not really a fan of Australian fiction, but I did enjoy Alan Marshall’s books.

Crippled by polio himself, Marshall had first-hand experience, which I found helpful for writing my book, especially since I Can Jump Puddles is also set in the early decades of the twentieth century.

More importantly, I find his gutsy approach to life in a tough rural environment, his no nonsense attitude, and his humour inspirational.
