Remembered as "the last of the bush balladists", Edward Phillip Harrington (1895-1966) was also a poet of remarkable range. A veteran of the 4th Light Horse Brigade who took part in the legendary mounted Charge on Beersheba in 1917, Harrington earned acclaim as a "Digger Poet". Yet he was equally skilled at capturing city life in poems such as "The Derelicts" and celebrating beautiful places as seen in "Mallacoota".While classic verses like "My Old Black Billy" and "The Bushrangers" have ensured a loyal following, Harrington's wider body of work has been unavailable for decades. Selected and introduced by David Williams, this long-overdue collection brings "Ted" Harrington back into print after seventy years-a gift to Australians of country and city alike who value their nation's literature.
