Henry Lawson: Favourite Poems: Illustrated with Australian Landscape Paintings by Margaret Olds (ed.) (First Edition)
Henry Lawson's unique contribution to Australian literature is evident in this small volume in which Margaret Olds has selected some of his best known poems and combined them with the work of Australian landscape painters of the period.
This union of a loved and revered Australian poet with the paintings of artists of the same generation will give readers a new insight into the work of a man who captured the lives of ordinary Australians and helped shape the Australian ethos and the way we see ourselves today.
This small selection of his work, presented in such a fresh and charming form, will delight the many who consider his work to be as valid and moving today as it was when it was written.
Some line engravings are scattered through the pages, adding a further period flavour to this fine collection.
