While the Billy Boils is a book by Henry Lawson, published by Angus and Robertson in 1902. It has 333 pages and is a collection of short stories set in the Australian bush and outback. The stories depict the lives and struggles of ordinary people such as shearers, drovers, swagmen, miners, farmers, and settlers. They also reflect Lawsons own experiences and observations as he travelled across the country. The stories are realistic, humorous, tragic, and poetic. They are considered to be some of the finest examples of Australian literature. Additional remarks, heavy foxing.
