About This Item
Ted Strehlow and Norman Lindsay had a close friendship in their later years; not least, Lindsay played an important role in the eventual publication of Strehlow's magnum opus, 'Songs of Central Australia' (1971). We have previously sold a letter written by Lindsay to Strehlow in August 1968; by this time, Angus and Robertson had delayed and deferred its publication for almost a decade, but Lindsay has been onto them, and 'it is only my letter which has jerked them into a fresh consideration [of] it'.
The rear flap of the dustwrapper states that this edition was 'Reproduced by modern offset lithography, this edition recaptures the freshness of Norman Lindsay's original drawings in a way never previously possible'. Muir 4271, noting that 'The illustrations in this new edition were reproduced as well [as] (or even better, Lindsay thought) than in the first edition & it was a handsome book'.
