While the Billy Boils
Description
"While the Billy Boils" by Henry Lawson is a collection of short stories published in 1896. This landmark Australian work gathers 52 tales of outback life, including the celebrated "The Drover's Wife." Lawson captures the harsh realities of the bush with a mix of humor, pathos, and cynicism, offering snapshots of drovers, settlers, and wanderers in remote Australia. Critics praised its variety while noting its unflinching portrayal of hardship in the back country, where men gather around campfires to share stories while the billy boils.
