This elegant leatherbound edition includes his most loved works—The Sick Stockrider, Bellona, and The Song of the Surf—accompanied by a preface from Marcus Clarke. With its gold-embossed lettering and marbled endpapers, this volume is both a literary and visual treasure for collectors of early Australian literature.
