Bully Days Greg Tuchin

Bully Days asks questions about some of a greatest literary icons: was Banjo Paterson a thief? Was Henry Lawson and adulterer and was Breaker Morant a con-man? Bully Days follows the lives and hardships of the Australia's greatest poets, Paterson, Lawson, Gilmore, Morant and Boake, as they grew up and made names for themselves in poetry, stories and art. It lead them all over Australia and to as far away places as Paraguay, South Africa and England, sometimes ending in tragic circumstances. Their lives were all intertwined, focussed on the one place, the offices of the Bulletin, where J. F. Archibald manipulated and cajoled them into creating legends.
