As either a realist or romancer, Henry Lawson was described in his own lifetime as 'the first articulate voice of the real Australia', later fondly known as 'the bard of the bush'. His death in 1922 left Australia with a wealth of literary works unequalled by any artist. In this selection of short stories, Lawson captures the true Australian spirit of his fellow countrymen. This re-release, on CD and cassette, is a historically significant and timeless addition to anyone's collection. Wyn Roberts captures the essence of Lawson in his brilliant narration.
