1 Case-study : Biggles and Beyond A Young Man's Reading John Nieman , 2006 single work criticism
— Appears in: Paper Empires : A History of the Book in Australia 1946-2005 2006; (p. 356-361) ‘Tired of depression and war, Australians were starting to enjoy the good life in the late 1940s. It was a period when adolescents became teenagers, and when popular music changed forever. It was also the era of the single wage, home ownership, and perhaps a Holden in the driveway as well. I can still vividly remember getting our first car, our first telephone and, later on, our first television. Books were becoming popular entertainment and played a vital role in my boyhood.’ (Introduction 356)
