("Banjo") Paterson's first book of verse containing the poem The Man From Snowy River sold more copies than that of almost any other poet writing in English. Since then the poem has been included in countless collections of verse and willingly learnt by millions of Australian school children. It has become such a part of Australian national life that people still argue about who the "real" man from Snowy River was. The poems and prose selections in this book, together with the magnificent photography, Paterson's great love of the Snowy Mountains and surrounding countryside. The photographs in the book were taken during the filming of The Man From Snowy River - a Geoff Burrow-George Miller Production.
