Dedicated To The Prince Of Wales
rUE PRINCE OF WALES has shown his interest in writers from the Dominion by accepting the dedication of “The New Countries,” a collection of stories and verse by Australian, Canadian South African and New Zealand writers, which has been edited by Hector Bolitho. : Speaking of the book in London, Mr Bolitho said, “The average Englishman imagines that culture belongs to the old world, which produced Shakespeare and Reynolds and Wrenn not to the new earth, which was the background for men of action, like Cecil Rhodes and Lord Strathcona. The time has come, therefore, when we viight make a tally of another kind and mention the names of Olive Schreiner, Katherine Mansfield Henry Lawson, Gilbert Murray. Sarah Gertrude Millin, Pauline Smith, Bliss Carman, and Roy Campbell, and ask people to believe j that something more important than wool and wheat is to come from the young countries, which were little more than vague shapes on the maps of a hundred years ago.”
