John Bull Gets Tough: An Essay in Interpretation
1944
Angus & Robertson
Softcover, black and white
Cover by Norman Lindsay
Post-War
World Trade — How will Australia Choose? Isolation, depression
and war or co-operation, prosperity and peace? This booklet contains
the full text of a statement presented to the Commonwealth Tariff Board
by the Australian Association of British Manufacturers of which the author
is the Director.
The collapse of Great Britain and the Empire has been loudly prophesied
for centuries — but John Bull refuses to oblige. The end of every
fight finds him still on his feet, with his family beside him. How does
he do it? How is it that this nation, declared effete, worn-out, strangled
by conservatism, still emerges fighting from one crisis after another?
In this book an Australian gives us the answers. He turns the searching
light of commonsense on much of the muddled criticism of Britain that is
heard today. He explodes the myth of grasping Imperialism, and makes clear
the sane and solid foundations of the British Commonwealth. He explains
the differences between John Bull and Uncle Sam —- and their essential
and indestructible brotherhood. He exposes the absurdity of the notion
that a friend of Russia should be an enemy of Britain, and shows just where
Communism fits into the picture. Above all, he tells us the deathless story
of how Britain won through against incredible odds in the early years of
this war.
This is a book that every good Australian will welcome. We have long felt
that the Mother Country has not been receiving her just due of the praise
and publicity with which our allies are so well served. Every fair-minded
ally, too, will be glad to see John Bull receiving the credit so hardly
and bravely won. more than this, John Bull Gets Tough will be
a valuable guide to those many thanking men and women who are striving
to understand the errors of the past and plan for a better and saner future. |

The Letters of Rachel Henning
1977
Penguin Books
Softcover, black and white
Cover adapted from a drawing by Norman Lindsay and illustrations and foreword by Norman
Rachel Henning's letters were written between 1853 and 1882. They give a vivid and fascinating account of life in Colonial Australia as seen through the eyes of a previously sheltered young Englishwoman.
At first repelled by the rough texture of life in Australia she eventually resoles to 'make a do of it' and, as Norman Lindsay says, 'took to pioneering with amazing gusto. The long journeys on horseback, the campfires at night with damper and quart-pot tea, the sleeping under the stars with a saddle for a pillow, enchanted her'. The letters have been brilliantly edited by David Adams to make a story that reads like a novel.
Not least of this book's attractions are Norman Lindsay's superb pen drawings.

Angus & Robertson
Hardcover, no dustjacket, black and white
There
has not been better poetry written before or since.
Dr Clement Semmler
This delightful collection of illustrated children's verse by two great
Australians is now recognised as a classic. It brings to life characters
such as Bristling Billy the Porcupine, Weary Will the Wombat, Old Man Platypus,
Baggy-beak the Pelican and many more.
The Animals Noah Forgot was written for children but,
like all classics, it reaches out to people of all ages. It
reveals Paterson's great love of the Australian bush and his
wry sense of humour, and includes some of the most charming
verses ever written about Australian animals, perfectly matched
by Norman Lindsay's light-hearted and appealing illustrations. |
