GOOD ISSUE
AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL ESSAYETTES BY J. B. PRIESTLEY Smoking is an author’s vice. Charles Dickens was never without a pipe in his mouth, and now we have J. B. Priestley’s authority for saying that trying new blends of tobacco is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Writing in the enlarged May issue of The Australian Journal, Priestly reveals his delight in pipes and tobacco, as well as in reading detective stories—in bed. The more hair-raising they are the quicker they help him to forget about himself.
Priestley’s amusing and thoughtful essayettes are one of the principal features of this month’s Journal, but it also contains the first of a very unusual series by Monica Dickens, as well as complete stories by Rafael Sabatina, Rui Chestor, Ivan T. Sanderson, Rex Grayson and many other well-known writers.
In addition, there are new knitting and pattern sections and a six-page magazine for children. On sale everywhere at the new value of 1/-.
