Descripción:
Brisbane: St Lucia: University of Queensland Press (UQP), 1975. 1st p/b ed.. Paperback small octavo, very good condition, covers lightly scratched, pages lightly toned, minor edgewear. 300 pp. Semi-fictional stories that were originally published in 'The Bulletin' magazine, 1892. Obsessed with the inhuman monstrosities of Australia's convict system, William Astley (writing as 'Price Warung') took the outlines of history and coloured them with melodrama and farce to shock, delight, and sometimes disgust his many readers.
