Ern Malley and the 'Angry Penguins'. Being a Review of the Greatest Hoax in Australia's Literary History, and the Subsequent 'Indecency Trial' [cover title]

Lismore, W. Hornadge (but printed in Adelaide by Thornquest Press), [1945].

Octavo, 20 pages with an illustration.

Two-colour pictorial title-wrappers (with a spoof diploma for Ern on the rear cover); paper a little tanned; essentially a fine copy.

'An invitation extended to Messrs. Harris, McAuley and Stewart some time before publication to make further comment on the hoax has not been accepted' (from the foreword). Loosely inserted are two newspaper clippings relating to the Ern Malley affair (from the Adelaide newspapers, the 'News', 23 May 1949, and the 'Advertiser', 24 May 1949).
