Having heard the merits of these two books being sung on the forum I was very pleased to find the high tide had at last washed my copies up on a Queensland beach. Shame I needed a forklift truck to get them into the house!


I don't think I've been so impressed by a book since the original Kipling & King came out all those years ago. Most recent books have merely rehashed preceding works with little new research, but Jon has gone to great depths to dig out new material, and verify, or correct old wife's tales. For once I feel confident that what I am reading is correct.

Thanks Jon, a truly first class achievement.

Stephen.
