The Rising of the Court

This audiobook features a collection of eight short stories and nine poems by Australian author Henry Lawson, first published in 1910. It begins with a tale centered on a unique legal custom in New South Wales and progresses through six stories showcasing characters in various challenging situations, rich with Lawson's signature irony. The final prose piece delves into the theme of "mateship" as reflected in Shakespeare's works, while the accompanying verse offers a more traditional and upbeat rhythm. Narrated by Denis Daly, this collection captures the essence of Lawson's storytelling.
