215 pages plus one page of Montreal advertisements. Includes index of titles. "In this collection will be found a great variety of Poems and Songs and from almost every part of the English speaking nations of the world.

I have arranged the anthology so as to make a kind of chronological sequence of the war, placing only a few of special significance at the front as a key to what follows... The collection consists of every variety of metre and merit, yet they all breath but one sentiment, one wish, and one heartfelt prayer for 'The Old Flag' and our late most Beloved Queen." - from author's Preface. Mauve pebbled boards are significantly sunned at places but retain legible gilt lettering upon front board. Both hinges starting. Title page missing. Bookseller's ink stamp upon front free endpaper else unmarked. Somewhat above-average wear. Book

Bowden Tim
Penelope Bungles to Broome New Speciality Titles
Australia: Allen & Unwin 2002. Paperback. Very Good. Beloved Australian broadcaster & his wife explore the north-west of Westen Australia in their trusty 4WD Penelope. Lovely combination of travel memoir & history. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good. Illus. by By Photographs A follow-up to Tim Bowden's "Penelope Goes West" this time covering the intriguing adventures of Tim Ros Penelope the car and The Manor the caravan as they travel across the grandeur and spectacle of Broome the Kimberleys and various points south and west. Bowden's fascination with rarely seen Aboriginal rock art is a major theme in his continuing love affair with Australia. On their journey Tim and wife Ros explore the Kimberley by land and sea where dramatic 12-metre tides guard coastal locations unchanged by time - still as 17th-century buccaneer William Dampier first described them. For three months Tim and Ros and their trusty four-wheel-drive Penelope travelled from the improbably sculptured Bungle Bungles to the Pilbara and the wildflower-filled Mid West. Bowden's enthusiasm for history is clear and his book is peppered with stories of present and past ill-fated settlements and expeditions tragic tourist deaths and the grandeur of Australia's intriguing spectacular north-west. Book is in very good condition with some edge wear. Tips of the corners bumped and worn; spine ends especially lower spine corners rubbed with a tiny tear on one point. The page block may have some toning or it was that color from the beginning I cannot tell. There are two light creases on the front cover in addition to spine and hinge creases. There is the usual surface smudging and scuffing. The interior pages are clean and bright and the binding is tight but 1 page of photographs is loose. I inspected the binding and can see no flaws or weakness so I assume the page was deliberately pulled out for some purpose of previous owner. The picture is a scan of the actual book.
