In Bad Company and Other Stories Vol. 2 (Esprios Classics)

Thomas Alexander Browne (1826-1915) was an Australian writer who sometimes published under the pseudonym Rolf Boldrewood. He is best known for his 1882 bushranging novel Robbery Under Arms. Browne spent some twenty-five years as a squatter and about the same time as a government official but his third career as author extended over forty years. In 1865 he wrote two articles on pastoral life in Australia for the Cornhill Magazine and he also began to contribute articles and serial stories to the Australian. One of these Ups and Downs: A Story of Australian Life was published in book form in London in 1878. It was re-issued as The Squatter's Dream in 1890.
