Horses have an integral connection with the Australian character. From the earliest pioneering days to the spectacle of the Melbourne Cup, whether helping to muster cattle or part of the parade, these sometimes gentle, sometimes wild and always complex creatures are part of our national psyche. Little Book of Horses is a showcase of poetry and imagery from the National Library of Australia. Enjoy this celebration of horses through the works of some of Australia's much-loved poets and artists, including Henry Lawson, Dorothy Hewett, Michael Leunig, Harold Cazneaux and Conrad Martens.
