Big Book of Australian Folk Songs

Big Book of Australian Folk Songs

Written and illustrated by Ron Edwards.

Was originally published in 1976 and although the reviews were very good and the first edition sold out it was decided not to do a reprint because of the high cost involved.

It has since become a rare and hard to get item and after receiving numerous enquiries, a decision was made to reprint a small edition containing all the songs exactly as they had appeared in the first edition.
