Content Summary:

Extra-illustrated by Hal Gye with drawing in colour. He depicts himself fishing at a stream, with caption: 'Dear Harry. j I lived with 'Den' at Toolangi while this book was being illustrated so that I could give all my time to the illustrations. Yours sincerely, Hal Gye. January 1950'.

Although Hal Gye illustrated the book, he did not make the drawing for the cover, which was supplied by an artist unknown both to Hal Gye and myself. All have end-papers designed by Hal Gye.
