Ebook PDF Online While the Billy Boils, by Henry Lawson

You remember when we hurried home from the old bush school how we were sometimes startled by a bearded apparition, who smiled kindly down on us, and whom our mother introduced, as we raked off our hats, as "An old mate of your father's on the diggings, Johnny." And he would pat our heads and say we were fine boys, or girls—as the case may have been—and that we had our father's nose but our mother's eyes, or the other way about; and say that the baby was the dead spit of its mother, and then added, for father's benefit: "But yet he's like you, Tom." It did seem strange to the children to hear him address the old man by his Christian name—-considering that the mother always referred to him as "Father." She called the old mate Mr So-and-so, and father called him Bill, or something to that effect.

5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Poor Edition By Alexander J. Graham I have read Henry Lawson for over 50 years and 'While the Billy Boils' is one of my favorites. Unfortunately all the words are there but little else. There is no ability to navigate. Kindle make it hard not giving an indication of the user friendliness of titles. There are several of this name for varying prices , but no indication that if you pay money you will get a better version than this one - it really is buying a pig in a poke. I guess in this case you get what you pay for - nothing for nothing.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. the rythme of the words remain By Primmy Its an annoying e-book, no navigation etc. But, and its a big But, the words are Henry Lawson, and the rythme of the stories and the words used are pure. It belongs to a time long ago that holds little reality for present time, but its a truth of a time in the Australian past, and should be venerated for that alone. All it really needed was The Loaded Dog, and I would have given it 4 stars.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting read but depressing. By Jay Heassler I enjoyed the book but it took discipline to stick with reading it all the way through because I'd read nearly 75% of it before I understood most of the Aussie idioms used. Only after I finished did I discover the index to them in the back of the book. Early reference to them would have been helpful. I have Australian friends, but none of their modern idioms were helpful in understanding the older terms in this book. What I got from it was the over riding poverty and hardship faced by early Australian settlers. I also learned an appreciation for how self reliant and resilient they were in order to survive the outback as well as the class system in the cities. All in all, this book is worth the read.
