Send Round the Hat

By Henry Lawson

Send Round the Hat by Harry Lawson is a collection of exciting short stories about a very tall Australian stakeholder known as The Giraffe going around town and offering to help people with his services. Excerpt: "Now this is the creed from the Book of the Bush— Should be simple and plain to a dunce: "If a man's in a hole you must pass round the hat— Were he jail-bird or gentleman once." "Is it any harm to wake yer?"

Henry Lawson

Henry Lawson was born in Grenfell, NSW, in 1867. At 14 he became totally deaf, an affliction which many have suggested rendered his world all the more vivid and subsequently enlivened his later writing. After a stint of coach painting, he edited a periodical, The Republican, and began writing verse and short stories. His first work of short fiction appeared in the Bulletin in 1888. He travelled and wrote short fiction and poetry throughout his life and published numerous collections of both even as his marriage collapsed and he descended into poverty and mental illness. He died in 1922, leaving his wife and two children.
