A collection of poetry and short prose by Henry Lawson, a famous Australian writer from the late 19th and early 20th century era. Lawson had a hard life, and damaged himself with alcohol, and both attributes shine through in his writing. There is much darkness, and precious little light. But he has left a compelling record of the tough life faced by early settlers in rural areas. no reviews | add a review

Most Australians know of these two colonial era writers, but rarely do we get a chance to read more than the highlights of their output.
Paterson was the more accomplished writer; Lawson spent much energy fighting his inner demons, and the bottle.
Good book. ( )
