If you a woman of a certain age, and if you were or still are a horse lover, you most likely did what I did watched The Man from Snowy River over and over and over again Which means you most likely also tracked down the poem Paterson is actully well known than most people think What is the song everyone thinks of when thinking of Down Under No, the one not by an 80s band Yes, and guess who wrote it Paterson writes wonderfully about horses, really fun poems about nags that aren t old, and steepl [...]
PreludeI have gathered these stories afar, In the wind and the rain, In the land where the cattle camps are, On the edge of the plain On the overland routes of the west, When the watches were long, I have fashioned in earnest and jest These fragments of song They are just the rude stories one hears In sadness and mirth, The records of wandering years, And scant is their worth Though their merits indeed are but slight, I shall not repine, If they give you one moment s delight, Old comrades of min [...]
When I chose this book, I was looking for bush life stories and I wasn t expecting so many poems dedicated to horse racing My favourite poems in this collection Conroy s Gap, In the Droving Days and How Gilbert Died.
Who didn t have to read this at school Iconic now, and responsible for the continuing huge sales of Driza Bone coats and R.M Williams riding boots P
A collection of poems that had funny, sad, inspiring poems.
Great poem that reads easily as a story.
I grew up readingMulga Bill s Bicycle, a poem byA.B Paterson better known as Banjo Paterson which was brilliantly illustrated byKilmeny Niland Deborah Niland and has thus been continuously in print since it came out in 1973 I was thus excited that another of Banjo s poems has been illustrated increasing its accessability for the younger audience.The poem itself is a classic, and in this incarntion it remains gloriously unabridged if you are just interested in the poem you can download it for fre [...]
I watched The Man from Snowy River a LOT when I was a child Here s what I didn t care about and in fact hardly remember, having had to cobble it together from a synopsis gold prospecting, the love story, Jim s financial difficulties, Jessica being threatened with being sent to gasp women s college, brotherly strife between two secondary characters seriously, this movie had a lot of subplots, which I guess is crucial when you re basing your main plot on a 100 line poem about rounding up horses He [...]
Ten years or so past I went looking to find the poem that inspired the Tom Burlison movie, The Man from Snowy River After a Google or related search discovered I could download Banjo Patterson s book for free from Gutenberg Press The.zip file led me to download and install Book Reader to cope with the file After reading the titular poem I put the book aside until just recently Anyone who has sung Waltzing Matilda whether drunk or sober knows that Aussies particularly those in the Outback where t [...]

I love this poem and was thrilled that they hadn t abridged it too much or dumbed it down for the children s version I was also surprised at how much of it I remembered from having had to learn it as a child Paterson really does distill the essence of Australia and put it into his poetry and the illustrations bring the thrill and movement of a wild brumby heard being rounded up This book was one of four classic Australian stories my big sister gave my baby girl for her first Christmas and I conf [...]
The Man From Snowy River and Other VersesPaterson, A.B favorite poet captures the time and place that was the turn of the century in Australia, looking at the dreams and the realities, with rose colored glasses
I really enjoyed the imagery It reminded me of a National Geographic article about Banjo Paterson from a few years back The photography matches the poem beautifully I have included the link ngmtionalgeographic ngm
I really admireFreya Blackwood s interpretation of this classic Australian poem The man from Snowy River might be slight and weedy but he surely brings those wild horses home.
Always nice to renew one s acquaintance with such an iconic bush poem as this I m glad it s been republished and kept fresh for the modern generation Interesting to see some of Freya Blackwood s early work too.
I consider Paterson s poetry classic It s beautiful I have always loved the rugged imagery and rhythm he provides in his writing this is a book I always fall back on when I find myself in a weary, grey kind of day.
a beautiful collection of stories, bought in australia, was a historical reprint of the 100th anniversary of the original printing of the book
I really love Banjo Paterson s poetry, but after a while you get bloody sick of horse racing and droving, you know
There was movement at the station Ahhh You can t call yourself Australian if you haven t read this.
Not as good as the movie But, really, how much can you get into a poem
