Since Henry Lawson wrote his story 'The Drover s Wife' in 1892, Australian writers, painters, performers and photographers have created a wonderful tradition of Drover s Wife works, stories and images. The Russell Drysdale painting from 1945 has become an Australian icon. Other versions of the Lawson story have been written by Murray Bail, Frank Moorhouse, Barbara Jefferis, Mandy Sayer, David Ireland and others, up to the present, including Ryan O Neill s graphic novel. Moorhouse examines our ongoing fascination with this story and has collected some of the best pieces of writing on the subject, adding commentary on each piece, to create a remarkable, gorgeous book.

Frank Moorhouse worked as an editor of small-town newspapers and as an administrator and tutor for the Workers' Educational Association, and in the 1970s became a full-time writer. He is best known for the highly acclaimed Edith trilogy: Grand Days, Dark Palace, and Cold Light. Frank has been awarded a number of fellowships, including writer-in-residence at King's College, Cambridge, a Fulbright Fellowship, and a fellowship at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington. His work has been translated into several languages. He was made a member of the Order of Australia for services to literature in 1985, and was made a Doctor of the University by Griffith University in 1997 and a Doctor of Letters (honoris causa) by the University of Sydney in 2015.
