Hilarious. Incredible. Bizarre. Witty. Deliciously malicious! Where There's a Will is an absorbing collection of odd and curious wills from many countries and many times. Vindictive wills, revealing wills, wills written on nurses' petticoats, eggshells, tractor fenders and wills found in a bottle at sea included in the book reflect the full range of man's virtues and vices. The colorful individuals whose Last Will and Testament grace the pages of this book give more than their money away - they give themselves away. They use their wills to get back at obnoxious relatives, to maintain control beyond the grave, to reward, to punish, to defy those who say you can't take it with you. And to have the last word. Among the famous and the infamous whose wills are featured are: George Bernard Shaw, W.C. Fields, Patrick Henry, Janis Joplin, Napoleon, Jack Kelly, Howard Hughes, William Shakespeare, Ian Fleming, Billy Rose, Picasso, Marilyn Monroe, Aristotle Onassis. . . and many more. -

What Cheer? Ralph Frost
$40.00Merry stories for all occasions - some even a little bit saucy for 1929 and some not very P.C. for today's standards! Most are good fast snappies: Young Lady: When I marry, it will be to a man who is polished, upright and grand. Rejected Suitor: You don't want a man - you want a piano! Or...Bus Conductor to Young Lady: If you want to go to Hammersmith, Miss, you're on the wrong bus. Young Lady: But the bus has Hammersmith written on it! Conductor: It's got Nestle's Milk written on it as well, but we're not going to Switzerland. As you see, they are mostly nice clean ones that reflect the humour of the 1920s - making this a social time travel trip. -
In 1902, newly-married Jeannie Gunn (Mrs Aeneas Gunn) left the security and comfort of her Melbourne home to travel to the depths of the Northern Territory, where her husband had been appointed manager of ‘The Elsey’, a large cattle station. One of the very few white women in the area, she was at first resented by people on and around the station, till her warmth and spirit won their affection and respect. She had an unerring ear and eye for the sounds and sights of the country, and this is her moving and simple account of her life amidst the beauty and cruelty of the land, and the isolation and loneliness - together with the comradeship and kindness of those around her. Abridged and adapted school edition. Angus and Roberson,1962. Photo illustrations.
