Description
<p><i>While the Billy Boils</i> collates <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/henry-lawson">Henry Lawson’s</a> most well known short stories of the 1890s, originally published in a variety of Australian and New Zealand newspapers—most prominently the Sydney <i>Bulletin</i>. Lawson presents a satirical and sometimes emotional study of frontier life in late colonial Australia, and the characters living in it.</p>
First Sentence
You remember when we hurried home from the old bush school how we were sometimes startled by a bearded apparition, who smiled kindly down on us, and whom our mother introduced, as we raked off our hats, as "An old mate of your father's on the diggings, Johnny."
