Joe Wilson and His Mates Book Reviews

Joe Wilson and His Mates by Henry Lawson Book Summary

Joe Wilson and His Mates is a book of historical fiction. There are many times in this world when a healthy boy is happy. When he is put into knickerbockers, for instance, and 'comes a man to-day', as my little Jim used to say. When they're cooking something at home that he likes. When the 'sandy-blight' or measles breaks out amongst the children, or the teacher or his wife falls dangerously ill--or dies, it doesn't matter which--'and there ain't no school'. When a boy is naked and in his natural state for a warm climate like Australia, with three or four of his schoolmates, under the shade of the creek-oaks in the bend where there's a good clear pool with a sandy bottom. When his father buys him a gun, and he starts out after kangaroos or 'possums. When he gets a horse, saddle, and bridle, of his own. When he has his arm in splints or a stitch in his head--he's proud then, the proudest boy in the district.
