This is a 1938 edition. There is tape on the spine and the first few pages and age marks also on the first few pages. There is a signatory on the inside page. Please request more pictures if needed as this book is antique and not in pristine condition. The Man from Snowy River is a collection of poems by Australian bush poet Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson. He wrote many ballads and poems about Australian life, focusing particularly on the rural and outback areas.
