After the publication of Ralph Morrison's story 'A Personal God' in Australian Short Stories, readers contacted the editors to point out that it was almost identical to the story 'Sredni Vashtar' published pre World-War I by British writer 'Saki' (H. H. Munro). The editorial discusses the issue and prints a letter from Ralph Morrison, together with the introductory paragraphs of each story.
