Return of Johnny April
FTER a break of a few months, Johnny April is back again. During his absence, he has made. an extensive tour of Australia for the ABC. Arthur E. Jones, author of the series, says. the actual writing. does not present any great difficulty.. He has written so many. of the stories now that the style is automatic.
