Description
Illustrated with Australian Landscape Paintings
This little volume of favourite poems by A. B. 'Banjo' Paterson selected by Margaret Olds and delightfully combined with some of Australia's most famous landscape paintings, is a must for all Paterson collectors. In each case the painting reflects the mood and period of the poet's work and sensitively bridges the two art forms in an exciting and original way.
Our great landscape painters had an affinity for the bush and its people, as did Banjo Paterson, and the synergy of the two makes this small volume a charming and fresh contribution to Australian historical literature.
The addition of some period engravings adds a nice finishing touch.
