Crown 8vo, cloth, gilt top, 5s.; post free, 5s. 5d. Mr. R. Le Gallienne, in The Idler: "A striking volume of ballad poetry. A volume to console one for the tantalising postponement of Mr. Kipling's promised volume of sea ballads." Weekly Chronicle, Newcastle (Eng.): "Swinging, rhythmic verse." Sydney Morning Herald: "The verses have natural vigour, the writer has a rough, true faculty of characterisation, and the book is racy of the soil from cover to cover." Melbourne Age: "`In the Days when the World was Wide and Other Verses', by Henry Lawson, is poetry, and some of it poetry of a very high order." Otago Witness: "It were well to have such books upon our shelves . . . they are true History." New Zealand Herald: "There is a heart-stirring ring about the verses." Bulletin: "How graphic he is, how natural, how true, how strong." While the Billy Boils: Australian Stories. By Henry Lawson. |
