Check out the beautiful Australian Classics series, with a special offer from Booktopia.
A&R Publishers launched in 1888 and by 1895 had a bestseller with Banjo Paterson’s The Man From Snowy River. The success of A&R confirmed the existence of Australian literary talent – and an audience hungry for Australian content.
The company went on to publish some of the most famous names in Australian literature, including Henry Lawson, Norman Lindsay, CJ Dennis and May Gibbs.
In March 2013 HarperCollins is bringing these unique Australian stories to a new generation of readers with the launch of the first set of A&R Classics, a collection of 12 titles that celebrate the authors who have contributed to the cultural identity of a nation.
