“THE AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL”
REVIEW OF THE JANUARY ISSUE. Starting 1939 at the top of its form, the January “Australian Journal” includes a couple of new serials. One of these, “Spanish Serenade,” by Francis Beeding, is a particularly thrilling piece of work. Accounts of the Spanish civil war are numerous, but Beeding has produced a yarn packed with adventure instead of propaganda. It will hold the attention of every reader, whether their political sympathies incline to the Left, the Right, or dead Centre. Another new feature is “Hell in the Heavens,” an authentic account of the aerial warfare on the Western Front, by a machine-gunner who saw the whole thing through. Gripping, this. Brighter fare is found in the “Dad Summers” series by young Barry McKee, an eighteen-year-old Australian author with a remarkable turn of whimsical humour. All told, there are fourteen stories, as well as the serials and household features, giving buyers quantity as well as quality for their sixpence.
