Andrew Barton “Banjo” Paterson was a poet, journalist, and author. He’s best known for his poem “Waltzing Matilda,” widely considered the unofficial national anthem of Australia.

Written at the turn of the 20th century,An Outback Marriage tells the story of an Englishman who sets out to find an heiress in colonial Australia. What follows is a romantic, humorous depiction of the bushland and its people—complete with brawls, horse chases, and, of course, a marriage.

    As much as words can take you into a high energy exhilarating state of mind - this book does it. Sprinkled with some laugh out loud humor. And a fun survey of the rough days of old Australia. I’ve read a number of different books about Australia and enjoyed them all (A Fortunate Life was a favorite). So glad Apple suggested this Outback Marriage in their classics series - loved it.
