AbstractHistoryArchive Description
This story has novel features to commend it. The popularity of crime "thrillers" shows no sign of abatement in any part of the English-speaking world. Librarians everywhere in Australia, no less than in Britain and the United States, have had to provide more and more shelf room for this type of exciting reading.
In "Sheep with Wings," there are all the necessary features of the untangling of a crime mystery, but it has the great advantage of having not only a convincing and a feasible plot, but an Australian one, and a setting placed in New South Wales.
The crime is sheep stealing, and the author obviously has practical knowledge of the bush and of pastoral life, and writes about them attractively and well. The story will hold the reader's attention throughout, and there is a pleasant love interest intermingled with the solving of the mystery.
– The Sydney Morning Herald, 9 May 1938, p6
