This is the funniest novel that has been written in Australia for years. It is the story of a New Zealand business man who makes a bet that he can court publicity in Sydney as a millionaire for three months without being exposed - an extravaganza brimming with chuckles over the shifts and love affairs of the 'millionaire' and his private secretary. The latter is a 'priceless ass', drawn by the author with irresistible humor. The Australian Woman's Mirror, November 9, 1926, # 50.
