Robbery under Arms [EPUB ebook] 

Robbery Under Arms is a bushranger novel by Thomas Alexander Browne, published under his pseudonym Rolf Boldrewood. It is considered a classic of Australian colonial literature, along with Marcus Clarke’s convict novel For the Term of his Natural Life (1876), and has inspired numerous adaptations in film, television and theatre. Writing in the first person, the narrator Dick Marston tells the story of his life and loves and his association with the notorious bushranger Captain Starlight, a renegade from a noble English family. Set in the bush and goldfields of Australia in the 1850s, Starlight’s gang, with Dick and his brother Jim’s help, sets out on a series of escapades that include cattle theft and robbery under arms.
