| Summary |
The ballad of the sheep stealing swagman sung by John Williamson. With 'Banjo' Paterson's original lyrics and Freya Blackwood's stunning ochre-toned paintings, we are treated not just to the swagman's story, but to the story of the shearers' strikes of the time, and of the dangers of the nineteenth century. Ages 3+ |
| This is the famous ballad of the outback wanderer who drowned himself rather than lose his freedom. Illustrator Freya Blackwood has explored the intriguing background behind the writing of this song, and shown not just the lively story of a proud outback larrikin - but also a glimpse int the clashes and struggles that were so formative of Australian history. (From back cover). |
