"IT IS DARK IN THE BUSH"
SERIAL BEGINS NEXT WEEK E announced in our last issue that we were about to print a serial. Now we can add that the first instalment will appear next week. Don’t be one of those foolish people who intend to be there when the hunt begins but have to strike across country to join in. Give yourself the pleasure of the whole run. The number of good serials available to New Zealand readers is at all times very small. The number of good New Zealand serials-stories written in New Zealand about New Zealandis so very small that we have had to wait two years for something that we could confidently recommend. But we have it at last. Listen to the title: It Is Dark in the Bush. It almost makes you nervous in advance. For bush still covers twenty per cent of the land surface of the Dominion-one acre in five. It still provides cover for real crimes and the setting for crimes of the imagination. You will find both in this book. But you will find more than mystery, and far more than crime. You will find the normal, as well as the abnormal, New Zealand-hiking students and working farmers, lawyers, doctors, and the policemen you see every day if you live in town, every sale-day and race-meeting if you live in the country. So once more. Make sure of our next issue. Tell your bookseller that you want to be sure if there is a risk that he may be in short supply.
