About this film

LibriVox recording of In the Days When the World Was Wide, and Other Verses by Henry Lawson. Read in English by Larry Wilson; Kathleen Flanary; Michael Conway; Beth Thomas; Son of the Exiles; Dru Conway; Carol Bedell; Mark F. Smith; Jack Albert; Kalynda; mtamburr; Esraa El-Brawany This is a volume of poetry by Henry Lawson, the well-known Australian poet Henry Lawson. Some of the poems in this collection are still widely taught in school, some others are not widely known at this time. All of them, however, paint vivid images of Australia around the turn of the last century. As The Academy put it in 1909, "These ballads (for such they mostly are) abound in spirit and manhood, in the colour and smell of Australian soil. They deserve the popularity which they have won in Australia, and which, we trust, this edition will now give them in England." - Summary by Carolin For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
