The Squatter's Dream (1875) is a novel by Rolf Boldrewood, the
pseudonym of Australian novelist Thomas Browne. A squatter himself
for nearly twenty-five years, he came to know the ways of life on
the outskirts of civilization, which allowed him to lead a
peaceful, uncomplicated, and inexpensive existence. Originally
serialized in Australian weekly magazines, Browne's work as Rolf
Bolfrewood is an incomparable record of colonial Australia, where
outlaws and speculators lived side by side on land stolen from the
continent's Aboriginal peoples. "The climate in which his abode was
situated was temperate, from latitude and proximity to the coast.
It was cold in the winter, but many a ton of she-oak and box had
burned away in the great stone chimney, before which Jack used to
toast himself in the cold nights, after a long day's riding after
cattle." Jack Redgrave leads the kind of existence most men would
dream of: a comfortable home, plenty of food, a beautiful property,
and enough books to keep him curious about the world beyond the
wilderness. Despite this, he begins to grow dissatisfied, dreaming
of ways to increase his wealth and forgetting the reasons that
first drew him to the squatting lifestyle. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Rolf Boldrewood's The Squatter's Dream is a classic work of
Australian literature reimagined for modern readers.
