AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Nettie Palmer discusses some of her editorial criteria for including stories in this work: esentially they convey a 'sense of life', without contrivance. She emphasises the variety of approach and mood of different stories treating similar subject matter, e.g. rural life, and the subtle humour that flavours them. She hopes that her selection represents one possible sample of 'the best Australian work'
