This fully-indexed volume contains many of the poetical works of the man dubbed as ‘the people’s poet,’ Henry Lawson.
Along with his contemporary Banjo Paterson, Henry was one of Australia’s greatest colonial writers and poets. He had a wonderful gift for storytelling, and captured the very essence of bush life. This book contains colour and black and white illustrations throughout.

Excerpt:
"He works in the glen where the waratah grows,
And the gums and the ashes are tall,
'Neath cliffs that re-echo the sound of his blows."
– Extract from The Mountain Splitter poem (as printed in A Collection From The Works Of Henry Lawson)
