Title Selections from The Collected Verse of A.B. Paterson
Author: A.B Paterson
The Collected Verse of A. B. Paterson contains some of the most popular verses ever published in Australia. This selection from the work of Andrew ‘Banjo’ Paterson includes the classics ‘The Man From Snowy River’, ‘Old Pardon, The Son of Reprieve’, ‘Clancy of the Overflow’, ‘The Geebung Polo Club’ and ‘The Man from Ironbark’.
There are also some lesser known but equally beautiful ballads including ‘As Long as Your Eyes are Blue’, ‘Daylight is Dying’ and many more. Bill Conn’s reading of these tales of bush life and adventure capture the humour and irony for which ‘Banjo’ Paterson is renowned.

Selby’s Selection
Author: Duncan Ball
“I just wanted to tell you something about this CD. I’ve been telling stories about my adventures to Duncan Ball for a long time now. You can read them in lots of different books. It’s not surprising that a talking dog like me would one day have talking books made about him.
Duncan has let Geoff Cartwright pretend to be me and read my stories aloud so that you can listen to them too. This is a collection of some of my best adventures from different books. Hear about all the near misses I’ve had trying to keep everyone from knowing I can talk.”
