Book Description:

There is no greater Australian bush hero than the man from Snowy River, and no greater bush legend than his famous downhill ride. Award-winning illustrator Freya Blackwood takes a stunning new approach to Banjo Paterson's most famous bush ballad. She brilliantly captures the drama of this much-loved poem, as well as the romance and dizzying landscape of the Australian alpine country. A must for all good bookshelves.
