Joe Wilson and His Mates (1901) is a collection of many of Lawson’s most celebrated classic Australian short stories. Lawson’s darkly realistic work includes all four stories of Joe Wilson, a sheep shearer suffering from drinking problems and the hardship of the bush. Along the bleaker tales are more ‘humorous’ takes on bush life, including ‘The Loaded Dog’, ‘The Golden Graveyard’ and ‘Jimmy Grimshaw’s Wooing’.
