In Bad Company, and other stories

Rolf Boldrewood's 'In Bad Company, and other stories' is a collection of captivating tales set in the Australian outback during the 19th century. The book's narrative is rich in detail, painting vivid pictures of the harsh landscape and the rugged characters that inhabit it. Boldrewood's descriptive prose and engaging storytelling style immerse the reader in a world of bushrangers, gold prospectors, and frontier life, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of Australian history. The stories explore themes of survival, loyalty, and the consequences of moral ambiguity. Each tale is skillfully crafted with a keen eye for historical accuracy, making the book a valuable contribution to Australian literature. Rolf Boldrewood, a pen name for Thomas Alexander Browne, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a squatter in rural New South Wales, which informed his portrayal of the Australian landscape and its inhabitants. His firsthand knowledge of the outback and its people lends authenticity to his storytelling, making 'In Bad Company' a compelling read for those interested in Australian history and literature. I highly recommend 'In Bad Company, and other stories' to readers seeking a gripping and immersive journey through the rugged terrain of the Australian bush, where moral dilemmas and human nature intersect in a series of enthralling narratives.
