Tails Up [cover title]

[Melbourne, A Comment Publications, circa 1941].

Quarto, 40 pages printed on brown paper in black, red, green and white, with charming illustrations in three colours after linocuts by her cousin and husband Irvine Green.

Overlapping jade green card covers (lettered and decorated in black) very slightly rubbed; a fine copy.

A delightful children's anthology, comprising stories and poems by Crozier's cousins Sylvia and Eila Green. The charming illustrations are after linocuts by her cousin and husband Irvine Green.

As well as her signature little magazine 'A Comment', Cecily Crozier published four other little-known and now extremely scarce titles. All were printed by The Bradley Printers, Malvern, and three (including this title) follow closely the format and bold designs seen in the magazine. We have identified two different bindings on this title, the other one being flush-cut wrappers printed in three colours.
