This two-volume set, Singer of the Bush / Song of the Pen: Complete Works 1885–1941 by A.B. ‘Banjo’ Paterson, presents the definitive collection of one of Australia’s most iconic literary voices. As a cornerstone of Australian bush poetry and nationalist literature, Paterson’s work captures the rugged spirit, humour, and resilience of rural life, immortalizing characters like The Man from Snowy River and Clancy of the Overflow. The first volume, Singer of the Bush, chronicles his early verse and ballads that shaped the cultural identity of the outback, while the second, Song of the Pen, compiles his prose, journalism, and later poetry, illustrating his evolution as both a storyteller and commentator. Together, they offer a sweeping portrait of Australia’s landscape, language, and lore across six decades. This set stands as an essential acquisition for collectors of Australiana and literary history.
