“Doreen and her Bill, Ginger Mick, Digger Smith, the Glugs, and Jim of the Hills are some of the memorable larrikans, lads and their lasses created by C. J. Dennis and brought together in this volume first published as Selected Verse in 1950.  They have been delighting his readers ever since.
The particular charm of Dennis’ verse is that its genuine human tenderness is revealed in equal measure with exuberant humour.  For it’s “arf a brick” you’ll notice.  Feathers don’t get a look in anywhere except perhaps in a featherlight touch that tickles and makes own whoop with joy!.”
