About This Book

Harry Craddock -- millionaire, ornithologist, idealist and buffoon -- wrote this book, an intriguing account of his expedition to central Australia in search of the rare night parrot. But all is not as it first appears. Craddock wrote his story while in a mental hospital, and the book also includes excerpts from his wife's diary, and comments from both his psychiatrist and editor. The result is an absorbing and multi-layered story, whose ultimate meaning or meanings must be decided by each reader.
