"The best of C.J. Dennis appears in this volume. Besides including the phenomenally successful
Songs of a Sentimental Bloke as it was originally published in 1915, it contains selections from
The Moods of Ginger Mick; Doreen; Rose of Spadgers; Backblock Ballads; and other humorous and serious verse.
It also contains that 'real Australian' song, The Austra-laise."
