Splendid sales are reported of “The Gael Fares North,” by N. R. McKenzie, which was recently published by Whitcombe & Tombs Ltd. The book will be reviewed on this page next month.
New Zealand writers should note that “The Bulletin” is offering #25 in prizes in a humorous short story competition. Entries close on January 31st. Limit in length, 3,000 words.
Among several literary productions due to be published coincident with New Zealand Authors' Week is “Ponto's Progress,” a novel by C. R. Allen (publishers, A. H. Reed, Dunedin). The story is based on the theme of Belloc's verse:
From quiet homes and small beginning.
Out of undiscovered ends
There is nothing worth the wear of winning
But laughter and the love of friends.
The big New Zealand sales of “Confessions of a Journalist,” recently published by Whitcombe & Tombs, are being echoed in Australia. One Sydney house had booked 80 orders before publication.
