Read ebooks by Henry Lawson

Henry Lawson became a literary legend in his own lifetime and was loved by the Australian public. He was the first Australian
writer granted a state funeral. Lawson wrote short stories and poems with sympathy and humour. He depicted Australian men,
women and children and Australian rural life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

We believe that we have an ebook for every book published by Lawson during his lifetime. Go to Lawson's listing to view the list
and read the books.

The complete works of Henry Lawson in two volumes, A Camp-fire Yarn (CFY) and A Fantasy of Man (FOM)
were published in (1984).

Below is a list of all of Lawson's poems showing the source of each. Those poems which were
published in newspapers, but not in a published book are collected in our "Collected Poems of Henry Lawson."

Below the list of poems is a list of a number of Henry Lawson's published books, showing the contents of each
