Waltzing Matilda

Description

Beautifully illustrated children’s paperback by much loved Australian Poet A.B Paterson . Through a light lyrical verse, comes to life the story of a swagman who steals a sheep or ‘jumbuck’, and his ensuing police chase. Desmond Digby’s painterly style of illustration with rustic colours, and a rugged looking swagman encapsulate the poet’s Australian bush perfectly. As widely read today as it was 100 years ago, this is a must for all Australian children.
