THE ‘‘Meet ...’’ series of illustrated children’s books brings legends to life.
The latest — Meet ... Banjo Paterson — shares the story of the journo-turned-bush-poet who is now a household name.
Author Kristin Weidenbach tells how a young Banjo loved horses and life in the outback from a young age.
As an adult he moved to Sydney but missed the bush, so he began writing bush ballads.
It was The Man From Snowy River and Waltzing Matilda that caught the public’s imagination and turned him into the household name he is today.
Random House Children’s, $24.99.
