white titles spine; illustrated with b/w. woodcuts by Lionel Lindsay; "Henry Lawson was born in a tent on the goldfields near Grenfell, New South Wales, in 1867. He spurned city life and its wealth, most of his prose and verse extrolling the virtue of the Australian bush, the gold digger, the stockman, the drover and the shearer. These stories were written in England and the collection was made for its swagman interest, with a view to consistent illustration. Some of Lawson's poetry about swagmen has been included for interest. This book is reproduced from an original hardbound edition published in Australia in 1939 by the Australian Limited Editions Society, in a three hundred and fifty copy edition, with the full page woodcuts included as extra plates."; intact D/J. has light edge-wear & book has minimal wear tro corners; 61 pages.
