In Bad Company, And Other Stories

Lost for generations and now gloriously returned In Bad Company, And Other Stories invites you back into the dusty heart of colonial Australia where honor, danger, and irony collide. This restored collection of Rolf Boldrewood stories gathers sharp, human short fiction set against the wide, unforgiving landscapes of 19th-century Australian literature. From tense bushrangers narratives and outback adventures to intimate moral reckonings in frontier towns, each piece showcases Boldrewood s gift for Victorian era storytelling: vivid historical Australian settings, economical prose, and a keen moral eye. Readers will find adventure tales that pulse with horseback chases and dusty tavern confrontations, alongside quieter classic Australian short stories that probe character, conviction, and consequence. Historically significant and long out of print, this Alpha Editions release is more than a reprint it has been carefully restored for today s and future generations. Meticulous editing and respectful presentation make this edition a cultural treasure and a collector s item for lovers of colonial Australia fiction and Australian cultural heritage. Perfect for casual readers seeking spirited outback adventures and for collectors of literary classics, this volume reconnects modern audiences with Boldrewood s influential voice and the moral fabric of the bush. Own a piece of literary history: a compact anthology where adventure meets conscience, and Victorian sensibilities illuminate the vastness of the Australian frontier.
