About This Item
Self Published, Colac, 1944. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. 200 g; 162 pages, with one full-page photograph. Colour illustrated front panel. Some handling marks of a trivial nature, and a spot of foxing to the front edge of the text block. The stories were originally published in the Melbourne Argus and the Manchester Guardian. Some of the stories are almost "tall" tales -- a claim that it took 2 men, 14 bullocks, a boy and 3 dogs to land the biggest trout ever taken from the Bahram River at Apollo Bay -- is a good example. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: History; Local History -- Victoria; Inventory No: 0231701. .
