  • Margery and Ian voyage to the queer land of Baste in a silver bubble. There they undertake marvellous adventures brought about by the theft of the Frost Fire and encounter other wonders such as the Timeless Stone. There's fabulous characters: Tiel Quintillian of the leaf-green beard, Miles Pennycook and his sweetheart Biddy Bluebell; the gallant Captain Tod (gallant, nut noisy); Mr Ned Kelly, young Harry Dale, the drover, the Brooding Brolga, the Mocking Lyre Bird and the Ancient One of How Many Years living in his Gibba-gunyah. Even Cobb and Co find a place...a wondrous and scarce Australian fantasy story to rank with Norman Lindsay's The Magic Pudding. Illustrated by R.W. Coulter.

  • A fascinating blend of Biblical commentary and travel narrative that characterised its predecessor,  In The Steps Of The Master.  Morton set himself the task of following the the Missionary Journeys of St. Paul and tracing the route by which  Christianity came to the West. He made four journeys to the Near East, covering Palestine, Syria, Turkey, Macedonia, Greece, Cypress, Malta, Rhodes and the City of Rome. Morton wanted to portray St Paul as a Saint and a man, and what problems he would have encountered as he set out to Christianise the pagan world, to describe the world in which he lived and to contrast the cities of his day with their modern equivalents.
