I read this many years ago in Australia while doing a creative writing course.

The classic Australian story of a red heifer who fought for freedom. This was the author's second book awarded the Australian Literature Society's gold medal for best Australian novel published in 1931. Listed by Dutton as being one of Australia's Greatest Books. He also wrote "Dusty" about an Australian sheep dog. "Man Shy" was told from the heifer's point of view and I found it an extremely good book. Not very long but well worth the read!!
