HOW TO ORDER

Gary Crew has written many award-winning books for young readers. The Saw Doctor highlights his talent for researching non-fiction events and turning them into engaging fictional stories.

David Cox conveys so much with a few strokes of the pen. As a boy himself in the time of the Great Depression, his illustrations in The Saw Doctor give us a wonderful insight to that period.

The Saw Doctor features the intriguing Saw Doctor's wagon, part of the National Museum of Australia's collection.
