Foreword by Rolf Boldrewood: 'In giving my name as a guarantee for the truthful presentment of these 'Tales of the Never-Never Country', otherwise character sketches of Australian life, I have been actuated by artistic and literary sympathy. It appeared to me a matter of simple justice, as well to the British public as to a talented writer, that work of such genuine merit should find a permanent place in literature.' (p.ix).
