Henry Lawson is considered one of Australia's greatest writers. In this student guide, an experienced teacher offers background on the author and sets Lawson in his literary context, before going through his stories one by one. Each story is summarised and then explained in detail so that students can fully appreciate the text. Also offered are generous notes on characters, themes, critical assessments of the author, and finally a full length A+ exam essay on Lawson.
