le in Bret Harte's manner,
crossed, perhaps, with that of Guy de Maupassant."

BRITISH WEEKLY: "Many of Mr. Lawson's tales photograph life
at the diggings or in the bush with an incisive and remorseless reality
that grips the imagination. He silhouettes a swagman in a couple of pages,
and the man is there, alive."

THE MORNING POST: "For the most part they are full of local colour,
and, correctly speaking, represent rather rapid sketches illustrative of
life in the bush than tales in the ordinary sense of the word. . . .
They bear the impress of truth, sincere if unvarnished."

A few other titles by Henry Lawson:

Prose: Poetry:
On the Track When I was King
Over the Sliprails Popular Verses
Joe Wilson Humorous Verses
Joe Wilson's Mates Winnowed Verses

THE BOOK LOVER: "Any book of Lawson's should be bought and treasured
by all who care for the real beginnings of Australian literature.
As a matter of fact, he is the one Australian literary product,
in any distinctive sense."
