In The Days When The World Was Wide is a collection of short stories and poems written by Australian writer Henry Lawson. The book was first published in 1896 and features tales of life in the Australian outback during the late 19th century. The stories in the book are largely based on Lawson's own experiences as a drover and bushman, and reflect the harsh realities of life in the Australian bush. They cover a range of themes, including poverty, isolation, and the struggle to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment. The book also includes a number of poems, many of which focus on similar themes to the stories. Lawson's poetry is known for its simple, direct style and its use of Australian slang and dialect. Overall, In The Days When The World Was Wide is a powerful and evocative portrait of life in the Australian bush during a time of great social and economic change. It remains a classic of Australian literature and is widely regarded as one of Lawson's most important works.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.
