Waltzing Matilda Book and CD

By AB (Banjo) Paterson About · Illustrated by Freya Blackwood

This ballad of the sheep-stealing swagman is known the world over. Here, 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, of the squatter’s family, and of the dangers of
nineteenth-century travel in the outback.

AB (Banjo) Paterson

AB (Banjo) Paterson was born near Orange in Central New South Wales on 17 February 1864. Upon leaving school Paterson studied law and was admitted as a solicitor. In 1899 at the outbreak of the Boer War, Paterson was determined to go to South Africa and so he offered his services to the Sydney Morning Herald as a war correspondent. Much of his verse appeared in The Bulletin under the name The Banjo. Paterson died in 1941, his enormous contribution to Australian literature recognised during his lifetime.
