Bush Studies is a collection of six short stories by the enigmatic Australian author, Barbara Baynton (1857–1929). Embedded in Baynton’s merciless, rugged vistas, these stories highlight the tragedy, harshness and humor of nineteenth century Australian bush life—particularly from the perspective of the women involved.

Haunting and evocative, the nuanced tones of Lisa Giles brings Baynton’s stories back to life, as memories of a past that continues to echo into the present.

Stories include:

“A Dreamer”

“Squeaker’s Mate”

“Scrammy ‘And”

“Billy Skywonkie”

“Bush Church”

“The Chosen Vessel”
