“THE AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL”

Review of September Issue Two prominent New Zealand writers head the long list of authors represented in the September number of “The Australian Journal,” a monster issue of 160 pages, containing no less than 16 brightly written short stories. In “Poor Miss Erica,’’ John Guthrie, who is rapidly making a name for himself as a writer, tells an exciting secret service tale, while Eric Lowe makes his first appearance with “The Phantom Rustler,” a vivid story of the early days of New Zealand. Other contributors include such popular Australian writers as Ann Thomas, Arthur W. Upfield, Myra Morris, J. P. McKinney, Rex Grayson, Gertrude Hart, J. H. M. Abbott and others. The issue is well-illustrated in colour and the cover is a delightful piece of work by artist Esther Paterson. As usual the feature pages are crammed full with interesting sections, including fashions, radio notes, cookery hints and recipes, knitting and needlework designs, paragraphs, puzzles and children’s prize stories and essays. There are two very good reasons for its popularity—tho excellence of the production and the fact that the price is only sixpence!
