AbstractHistoryArchive Description

H.M. Saxby, in A History of Australian Children's Literature, writes that this work and its sequel, Coppertop Cruises: the Wonderful Voyage of the Good Ship Queercraft (1920) 'are fantasies about a small girl's night and early-morning adventures in a world where she meets people like the Clerk of the Weather and the South Wind, and visits far places such as the Taj Mahal' (176).
