NICE OF YOU, BUT....
IF YOU’D CARE TO KNOW. By. Paul H. Simpson. Merivale Publishers, Auckland, NE of the objects of the authot of this book on the history and "present social atmosphere of this country is to "provide a measure of entertainment, if not enlightenment, for New Zealanders themselves." Entertaining it is, often in ways the author little suspects, and it is written in a brisk, wisecracking style, a sort of historian’s Tommy Handley’s half-hour. Enlightening it is not, and-it begins with an error: the assertion that New Zealand is the Antipodes of England. Apart from small blemishes of inaccuracy and misconception, the lengths to which. the author goes to salute the rising sun of the United States set the teeth on edge. \
