They most certainly do, according to plantswoman Carol Klein, who has been growing, propagating and showing plants for more than thirty years. In Plant Personalities, she demonstrates how understanding their needs and giving them the best conditions in which to thrive enables plants to develop their true characters - the qualities that make them what they are - or who they are.Personality traits are as valueable as height, habit and flower colour when choosing which plants to grow and how to grow them. Good-natured, bread-and-butter plants contribute to the overall picture for months, while others are fleeting, shooting to stardom for a brief but breathtaking performance. Wafty whisperers add a touch of frivolity, bringing rustling rhythms to beds and borders.… Read More

Their journey began one warm Sunday afternoon at Silverton, near Broken Hill, and ended twelve months and many hangovers later at the new Wrest Point Casino in Hobart under the shadow of snow-capped Mount Wellington.They drank in all kinds of pubs, from the little tin shanty in the outback, where the tumbleweed bounces past the ever-open door, to the dim cocktail bar in the city where lovers whisper. They found one pub built from bricks made by ants; another so violent that the licensee lives behind a barbed wire fence and hardly dares enter the bar without his German Shepherd dog; and yet another which is so lavish that it has Sidney Nolan originals in the foyer, a mirror from Mussolini's palace, enough caviar on hand to feed a Cossack regiment,… Read More

In sunlight and shadow. In winter and summer. It is pictures like these that wandering Scots carry in their minds as they seek their fortunes all over the world and their thoughts turn back to Scotland. We love Scotland, but we wander. Scotland is our home. But the world is our opportunity. Those who leave Scotland to seek their fortunes have powerful gifts to offer. One of them is a genius for survival, which is not an art, or a science, and least of all is it an accident. We can go to the ends of the earth and live there perfectly happily. We see the globe with reference to the home in which we grew up.

His poems capture the spirit of the bush people; they celebrate the vast distances and the harsh and beautiful places of outback Australia. This book, the second in a series of Australian poems illustrated by Australian artists, contains a selection of the most well-known and best-loved of Paterson's poems including those favourites mentioned above, Waltzing Matilda, Saltbush Bill, and A Bush Christening. Pro Hart's paintings reflect the moods of the poems and add to the charm of the book.This is a book which will delight the already countless number of Paterson admirers and will doubtless bring many newcomers to their ranks.
