The Man From Snowy River and other verses (Paperback or Softback)

"There was movement at the station,

for the word had passed around

That the colt from old Regret

had got away . . ."

The Man From Snowy River and other verses is Banjo Paterson telling stories in his definitive and inimitable style of Australian Bush Poetry.

In these verses Clancy of The Overflow has gone to Queensland droving, and The Man From Ironbark visits town for an unforgettable haircut. McGinnis is experiencing A Bush Christening and, of course, The Man From Snowy River himself is in pursuit of a herd of wild brumbies.

"The man from Snowy River

is a household word to-day,

And the stockmen tell

the story of his ride . . ."

Wild Arancini Classics is delighted to bring you this exciting new edition of Banjo Patersons classic poetry collection The Man From Snowy River

and other verses.

Andrew Barton "The Banjo" Paterson, CBE (17 February 1864 - 5 February 1941) was an Australian bush poet, journalist and author, widely considered one of the greatest writers of Australia's colonial period.Born in rural New South Wales, Paterson worked as a lawyer before transitioning into literature, where he quickly gained recognition for capturing the life of the Australian bush. A representative of the Bulletin School of Australian literature, Paterson wrote many of his best known poems for the nationalist journal The Bulletin, including "Clancy of the Overflow" (1889) and "The Man from Snowy River" (1890). His 1895 ballad "Waltzing Matilda" is regarded widely as Australia's unofficial national anthem and, according to the National Film and Sound Archive, has been recorded more than any other Australian song.
