Despite the bleakness of many of the stories, there is also a sense of resilience and hope that runs throughout the book. Overall, In The Days When The World Was Wide is a compelling and evocative portrait of life in the Australian outback, and a testament to the enduring power of Henry Lawson's writing.The night too quickly passes And we are growing old, So let us fill our glasses And toast the Days of Gold; When finds of wondrous treasure Set all the South ablaze.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
