Mostly Australian: Charles Fenner

Fenner gives the impression of being an Australian H.V. Morton as he rambles happily around and through Australia then shades his eyes to look abroad. Among the essays in this deceptively small volume, he observes: Modern Stone Age Artsist; Aboriginal Astronomers; An Extinct Volcano; The Meadows of Asphodel; Warm Winds and Bronze Statues; Mud Flats and Motor Cars; New York and Its Foundation; Spain In California; Mulga and Brigalow; Mallee and Marlocks; Mallee Scrub and Frosts; Health or Cabbages? Gnamma Holes; Crocodiles and Alligators; Whirligig Beetles; Scarabs and Tumbledungs; Showers of Frogs and Fishes and much more. With 12 illustrations by John C. Goodchild.
