Our next serial story, to begin publication on the 24th instant, will be an attractive tale of mining life, by Ethel Turner (Mrs. Curlewis). Miss Turner's stories are always appreciated, and we do not go too far in saying that " The Camp at Wandinong" is one of the prettiest that has come from the pen of the gifted author. Humour and pathos are judiciously blended, and our readers will find their sympathies enlisted on behalf of the hero and heroine from the first." – from the Queenslander Saturday, September 17, 1898 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
