Australian Bush Ballads

by Douglas Stewart, Nancy Keesing (Editor)

To generations of Australians, the rollicking, action-filled bush ballads of the pioneering days have been the 'best-loved and most popular verse in Australian literature.' Australian Bush Ballads presents a wide-ranging selection of 'robust, humorous and heroic' verse by those larger-than-life figures from Australian literary history--Adam Lindsay Gordon, Henry Lawson, 'Banjo' Paterson, Will Ogilvie. In addition, there is verse by 'Breaker' Morant, Joseph 'Tom Collins' Furphy, C. J. Dennis, 'Dryblower' Murphy, 'Mulga Mick' O'Reilly and many, many more.
