Souvenir Book About
USING very expensive, thick paper, blank verse of high literary quality, intriguing impression istic sketches, and luxury binding, Miss Merval Connelly has produced a kind of souvenir book, called “Norfolk Island,” at the Pegasus Press, in Christchurch, New Zea land. It is sold at 12/6 (15/- Aus.).
The story of the island —discovery
by Cook, the first and second con vict settlements, the arrival of the Pitcairners—is told in a series of poems. Then there follow a number of short pieces—Island Nocturne, One Wonders About the Women, The Legend of Bloody Ridge, King ston.
A most artistic production. But a plain guide-book for the use of visitors to Norfolk Island might have served the purpose more use fully.
