''Children of the Bush'' is a book written by Henry Lawson, an Australian writer and poet. The book is a collection of short stories that depict life in the Australian bush during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The stories focus on the lives of the people who lived in the bush, including farmers, drovers, shearers, and other rural workers. The stories are written in a simple and direct style, and they capture the harshness and isolation of life in the bush. The characters in the stories are often struggling to survive, and they face challenges such as drought, bushfires, and economic hardship. Despite the hardships, the stories also show the resilience and strength of the people who lived in the bush, and their deep connection to the land. Overall, ''Children of the Bush'' is a powerful and evocative portrayal of life in rural Australia, and it remains a classic of Australian literature.The land I love above all others--not because it was kind to me, but because I was born on Australian soil, and because of the foreign father who died at his work in the ranks of Australian pioneers, and because of many things. Australia! My country! Her very name is music to me. God bless Australia! for the sake of the great hearts of the heart of her! God keep her clear of the old-world shams and social lies and mockery, and callous commercialism, and sordid shame! And heaven send that, if ever in my time her sons are called upon to fight for her young life and honour, I die with the first rank of them and be buried in Australian ground.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
