This is the Grass is Alan Marshall's moving sequel to the much-loved Australian classic I Can Jump Puddles. First published in 1962, it tells the story of Marshall's adolescence, as he searches for work amid the rough and tumble of 1920s Melbourne.

His narrative, encompassing the lived experience of ordinary men and women, is infused with Marshall's deep sense of humanity.
