| | Henry Lawson: A Life by Colin Roderick from HarperCollins Publishers Australia (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Henry Lawson was born to a Norwegian digger named Peter Niels Larson and his wife Louisa in a tent on the ground they had pegged out on the goldfields at Grenfell on 17 June 1867. |
 | | Lawson's reputation was growing, and his work became more accessible when his mother, Louisa, brought out his first book, Short Stories in Prose and Verse, printed on the press which she used to publish her magazine, The Dawn. |
 | | Lawson was to take heed of Archibald's advice and refrain from creating an anti-climax; however, the endings of the tales, often the final sentence, come to be all-important. |
