The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke by C.J. Dennis
Hardcover edition in its own boxed cover
Box cover and book are in good condition. Slight signs of ageing on the dust jacket
Within eighteen months of its first publication in 1915, The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke had sold 66,000 copies and Dennis had captured the imagination of a nation. So too had Hal Gym, whose larrikin-cherubs were, and still are, accepted as the proper embodiment of The Bloke and his Doreen.
It is therefore with great pleasure that Angus & Robertson present this edition with size colour plates, a new colour cover, frontispiece and title page - all prepared by Hal Gye but never before presented in book form. Recently en-earthed, the plates appear to have been prepared as decorations for calendars in 1919.
All bring a new dimension to The Bloke, Doreen, The Stror 'at Coot and Mar - those naked, winged cherubs of immense charm and invention which enliven Dennis' salty and heart-warming verse.
