Description

More than 50 years after the death of AB 'Banjo' Paterson, Australians still find much to wonder at and admire within his poetry. Here we see the bush balladeer at his very best-favourites such as 'A Bush Christening', 'The Man from Ironbark', 'Clancy of the Overflow' and the immortal 'The Man from Snowy River' are included alongside lesser known works.

A. B. 'Banjo' Paterson was born at Narrambla, New South Wales, in 1864. He practised law until 1900, when he found success as a writer, contributing ballads to the Sydney BULLETIN. During the Boer War, Paterson worked as a war correspondent for the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD and remained in journalism, continuing to write poetry and fiction, and broadcasting as well. He died in 1941.
