Výbor z povídek H. Lawsona /1867-1922/ uznávaného dnes za klasika australské literatury. Z jeho povídek je zřejmá důvěrná znalost života obyčejných lidí, pracujících na farmách, i dobrá znalost drsné australské přírody. Většina povídek se odehrává přímo v buši, neboť autor je znalec života střihačů ovcí, honáků dobytka, drobných farmářů.
