This book is exactly what the title says: an index. But don't let that fool you. Compiled by A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson, it's a meticulous, self-authored catalog of his own literary output. It lists his poems, ballads, and other writings, often with details on where they were first published. It's not a narrative with characters and plot; it's the organized blueprint of a legendary career.
Why You Should Read It
This is a book for the curious fan. If you only know 'Waltzing Matilda,' this index opens a door to a whole world. It shows the incredible breadth of Paterson's work. You get a real sense of the man as a working writer, not just a mythical figure. It's strangely personal—seeing how he categorized his own life's work. It turns reading from a passive activity into a kind of literary archaeology. You use this index as a tool to hunt down lesser-known gems and piece together his complete story.
Final Verdict
This isn't a casual bedtime read. It's a specialist's tool and a history lover's dream. It's perfect for students, researchers, or super-fans of Australian literature who want to go beyond the greatest hits. If you've ever wanted to explore Banjo Paterson's world beyond the anthology on your shelf, this index is your essential, authoritative guide. Think of it as the ultimate companion for a deep dive into a national icon.
