HENRY LAWSON S short stories
are as fresh, moving and funny today
as when they were first published.
~The Drover s Wife , The Loaded
Dog and many other Lawson
classics have become part oftheAus-
tralian legend. They arc the kind of
storlcs which parents read to their
children, and which are loved by
generation after generation.
Lawson cut straight through the
flowery verbiage of the Victorian era
to address the reader in an instantly
recognisable voice -- that of the or-
dinars Australian.
But there was nothing ordinary
about Henry Lawson. His great sen-
sitivity, humour, unfailing ear for
dialogue and his mastery of the
understatemenL combined with his
intense love of the Australian out-
back and her people, made him an
Australian literary giant. No other
writer has contributed so much to
our national heritage, nor inspired
such great affection.
This selection of Lawson s best-
loved stories is enhanced by nostal-
gic drawings and woodcuts which
evoke a bygone Australia.
