VG+* Illustrations: Colour & b/w reproductions of cartoons and comics.* Pages: 130 pp. text.* Description: A number of humorous pieces have been gathered together from the Bulletin and other Australian newspapers in this collection and reveal "The Banjo" at his best. The shrewd observer of his fellow man and laconic humorist somehow manages to speak to and for all Australians in these magnificently readable stories. Indeed Paterson exceeded the original brief by J.F.Archibald to contribute some perky comments on social affairs " "paragraphs containing a little good nature and a little ginger."* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st. edition with some minor faults educing it to VG.*
