HUMOUR IN RHYME
Kay Grant gives us from Sydney_ a book of amusing verse whose chief distinction is the cheap price at which it is produced, with profuse illustrations drawn by Jean Cullen—2s. The contents are fairly well indicated by the initial poem, ‘ It’s ’Ard To Go Wrong in the Suburbs,’ which gives its name to the book. The sense of fun is slightly better than his sense of rhythm, though that may pass for the purposes to which he applies it._ The verses deal mainly with what might be called “ skirts ” and a little_ with the services; they are harmless without being edifying. Angus and Robertson, Sydney, publishers.
