GOLD RUSH

Wide Eyed Editions, 2023

A powerful illustrated book that tells, for the very first time, the story of the courageous women of the Klondike Gold Rush.

“A fascinating, feminist, 7+ exploration of the Klondike gold rush […] enthralling illustrations.” ― The Guardian

“Delargy, the award-winning illustrator of Rescuing Titanic, turns author/illustrator for a story of quiet bravery centred on a First Nations woman who discovered the gold that led 100,000 prospectors to descend on the region.” ― The Bookseller

“Delargy’s beautiful, illustrated non-fiction seeks to lift the lid on hidden histories – in particular women’s places at the forefront of adventure.” ― The Irish Examiner
