Synopsis

Banjo Patterson, Henry Lawson, CJ Dennis, and Adam Lindsay Gordon?once upon a time these were household names and Australians could recite their most famous verse. Here for the first time in one volume are all the great bush ballads, memorable songs, and other poetry. If you always wondered what came after "There was movement at the station," or "We'll all be rooned, said Hanrahan, in accents most forlorn," then Traditional Australian Verse is the book for you. It is a handsome treasury to entertain and delight the newcomer and the traditionalist alike.
