"Andrew Barton 'Banjo' Paterson, the author of such famous ballads as Clancy of the Overflow and The Man from Snowy River, has become a symbol of the outback for most Australians. His poems capture the spirit of the bush people; they celebrate the vast distances and the harsh and beautiful places of outback Australia.
This book, the second in a series of Australian poems illustrated by Australian artists, contains a selection of the most well-known and best-loved of Paterson's poems including those favourites mentioned above, Waltzing Matilda, Saltbush Bill, and A Bush Christening. Pro Hart's paintings reflect the moods of the poems and add to the charm of the book.
This is a book which will delight the already countless number of Paterson admirers and will doubtless bring many newcomers to their ranks."
