Rolf Boldrewood
A collection of Australian stories and sketches. The longest, which gives its title to the volume, turns on the wickedness of a trades-unionist agitator among the shearers and the violent accompaniments of an Australian strike. Others describe bushrangers, rough-riding contests, kangaroo shoots, lapsed gentlefolk, and, of course, a drought.
THE OUTLOOK.—“Very good reading.”
DAILY NEWS.—“It is the best work this popular author has done for some time.”
DAILY GRAPHIC.—“Both the quantity and quality of the stories are first rate.”
DUNDEE ADVERTISER.—“There are many charming pictures in words of Australia and her people, free from conventional phraseology, to be found in these pages, and the book forms a fit companion to such capital volumes as ‘Robbery Under Arms’ and ‘The Miner’s Right,’ which made Mr. Boldrewood’s name.”
COURT CIRCULAR.—“A breezy, bracing, healthy book.”
