George, you have 2 excellent books!


Warren Fahey & Graham Seal - Old Bush Songs. 2005
A special centenary edition of Banjo Paterson's collection of Australian
traditional ballads, with completely updated commentary on the songs.
Old Bush Songs, as it is universally known, has been through a
number of editions and is recognised as a classic of Australian
literature and folklore. First published by Angus & Robertson in
1905, it was subsequently revised and reprinted in over 15 editions
plus adaptations, with the last edition published in 1983.
This centenary edition celebrates Paterson's pioneering role and
documents the history of the book and its original songs. It includes
new material, illustrations and photographs, as well as background
information that helps bring these old songs to life for a modern
readership.
