Its irruptions were plagues to European colonists, who\n\u003cbr\u003efeared and loathed all rats, but times of feasting for Aboriginal people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTim Bonyhady explores the place of the long-haired rat in Aboriginal culture. He recounts how settler Australians responded to it, learned about it and, occasionally, came to recognise the wonder of it. And he reconstructs its changing,\n\u003cbr\u003eshrinking landscape-once filled with bilbies, letter-winged kites and inland taipans, but now increasingly the domain of feral cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn astonishing history, The Enchantment of the Long-haired Rat illuminates a species, a continent, its climate and its people like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tim Bonyhady","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43176002552051,"sku":"9781925773934","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781925773934.jpg?v=1662080522","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/the-enchantment-of-the-long-haired-rat-tim-bonyhady-9781925773934","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
