Around the Boree Log and Other Verses by John O'Brien

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages have sunned.

In his affectionate and gently humorous verses, John O'Brien sang of farming life and of the life of Irish Settlers in Australia, at home, on the land and at the Church on the Hill that is the centre of their lives.

This volume combines O'Brien's two books of verses - Around the Boree Log and The Parish of St Mels. It is verse that is simple and sincere and lit with a kindly understanding of the lives it chronicles.
