<strong>The remarkable life of Australia's greatest storyteller</strong> <p><strong>'A detailed and sympathetic account ... fascinating' - <em>The Australian</em></strong></p><p>A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson is rightly recognised as Australia's greatest storyteller and most celebrated poet, the boy from the bush who became the voice of a generation.

As a young man he befriended Breaker Morant, and covered the second Boer War as a reporter. He fudged his age to enlist during World War I, ultimately driving an ambulance before commanding a horse training unit during that conflict. Newspaper editor, columnist, foreign correspondent and ABC broadcaster, he knew countless luminaries of his time, including Rudyard Kipling, Winston Churchill, Field Marshal Haig and Henry Lawson. The tennis ace, notorious ladies' man, brilliant jockey and celebrated polo player was an eye-witness to countless key moments in Australian history, and saw Carbine and Phar Lap race.</p><p><strong>Extensively researched and written with Kieza's trademark verve, <em>Banjo</em> is a lively and captivating portrait of this truly great Australian.</strong></p><p>PRAISE FOR GRANTLEE KIEZA OAM</p><p>'Engagingly written ... one of the most nuanced portraits to date' -- <em>The Australian</em></p><p>'Vivid, detailed and well written' -- <em>Daily Telegraph</em></p><p>'A staggering accomplishment that can't be missed by history buffs and story lovers alike' -- Betterreading.com.au</p><p>'A free-flowing biography of a great Australian figure' --- John Howard</p><p>'Clear and accessible ... well-crafted and extensively documented' -- <em>Weekend Australian</em></p><p>'Kieza has added hugely to the depth of knowledge about our greatest military general in a book that is timely' Tim Fischer, <em>Courier-Mail</em></p><p>'The author writes with the immediacy of a fine documentary ... an easy, informative read, bringing historic personalities to life' -- <em>Ballarat Courier</em></p>

Winter In Tuscany: Cosy Cooking This book is a collection of the cosy, hearty dishes I love to cook in winter - recipes that are either traditionally Tuscan or Tuscan-inspired. It's all about comforting, flavourful food for cold winter nights. But more than that, this book is about a way of cooking I truly believe in: the quanto basta method. It means 'as much as you need' - a glug of olive oil instead of a tablespoon. A pinch of salt as needed. You taste as you go and adjust. Once, when I was learning to make pici with a local cook, she simply said, "We need as much flour as it takes." That's the essence of quanto basta. It's not about being perfect - it's about being present, being practical, and making something delicious with what you have. Winter in Tuscany celebrates rich culinary and cultural traditions with a quanto basta approach - the intuitive, Italian method of 'just enough' - and brings the heart of Tuscany's cosy autumnal and wintry flavours to your kitchen. But quanto basta is more than just a philosophy for cooking; it's a metaphor for life. This book celebrates life in the off-season; an ode to exploring Tuscany's villages and countryside when the crowds have thinned, allowing for a deeper, more intimate connection with the culture, food and landscapes. There are charming suggestions for pottering around Florence and Siena, and smoothly delivered snippets of history and art. But most of all, this book is about the recipes. An artichoke omelette, chicken liver pate crostini, a lentil and sausage stew, the most delicious bistecca fiorentina and the ultimate green salad. Filled with an array of hyper-local, traditional recipes for the home cook, Winter in Tuscany is an invitation to slow down and appreciate the beauty in small moments and big flavours.

City, Coast & Country: Australian Interiors by Adelaide Bragg invites readers into a private world of elegant homes shaped by a distinctly Australian aesthetic: authentic, refined, and effortless. Written by Robyn Lea and featuring her photographs alongside superb images by Lisa Cohen, the book is a curated collection of interiors by leading Australian designer Adelaide Bragg - a name synonymous with 'classic contemporary' style. Whether it's a clifftop coastal retreat, a rural homestead, or an elegant city residence, every home is tailored to its owner. Adelaide's aesthetic underpins each unique space, highlighting the finest artisanal work crafted from carefully considered materials. Raised on a vast sheep and cattle station in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales, Adelaide's sensitivity to color, texture, and light was shaped by the Australian landscape. Her mother's English-style garden, which skirted the family homestead, offered an alternative color palette. Her design language draws on this duality, where earthy, antipodean tones meet the softness of curated florals. Natural fibers, textiles, and materials such as wool, linen, grass cloth, leather, and wood are transformed into timeless furniture, fixtures, fittings, and wall features, reflecting Adelaide's unique outlook. Organized thematically by color, the book's six chapters reveal the raw materials and creative influences that continue to guide Adelaide's work. Drawing inspiration from materials ubiquitous in her rural upbringing, such as dirt, straw, and fine merino fibers, to create interiors that are as inviting as they are inspiring, Adelaide offers the reader a path forward in their own spaces defined by comfort and pleasure. This is not just a book for design lovers and creative professionals; it is for anyone who appreciates that home is a haven to be enjoyed to the full. With its rich imagery and thoughtful prose, City, Coast & Country is a celebration of interiors that speak to the heart and the spirit of the Australian land.

It's not about privilege or million-dollar sponsors - it's the tale of a working-class kid with a dream so big it defied the odds.
