      The Boys' Bookstall Series commenced in 1929. According to the 'Foreword' of the first book in the series, Eaglehawk: Chief of the Tribes of Arunta, it was intended that 'The Boys' Bookstall series of books was to be continued, with the next book to be published in December 1929'.

      The 'Foreword' of the first book in the series states that the 'aim and purpose of publishing The Boys' Bookstall Series is threefold:-

        • 'First, as an effort to counteract the harmful influence of the cheap, sensational and unprincipled literature so popular with boys.
        • Second, to help strengthen a national sentiment of some value to Australia.
        • And, third, to help supply and raise the tone of books for Australian boys.'
