The Life and Rhymes of "Banjo" Paterson

A full-colour book containing 36 of Banjo’s best poems including first publication of a lost poem – The Flying Ford, but also many fascinating photographs, cartoons, sketches and front pages from early newspapers. The life of AB Paterson is cleverly interwoven with the poems, chronicles Banjo’s life, the influences upon his work, and the genesis of many of his poems, illuminating the poet’s diverse interests, from his career in the law, as a war correspondent, pastoralist and poet, to his passion for horses, horsemen and horseracing, and most importantly his love of the Australian bush.
