AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Because it is impossible to fit this miscellany of philosophy and humour into any other category, it might best be considered here after the family story, for it is a book which, for many years, has brought delight to many an Australian family' (Saxby, A History of Australian Children's Literature 1841-1941, p. 63).
