Lennie Lower, Australia's answer to James Thurber and S.J. Perelman, wrote humorous columns for Smith's Weekly and The Women's Weekly and by 1930 was seen as our greatest humorist with his novel Here's Luck. HERE'S LOWER is a selection of the whimsical Lower from his newspaper columns of the 1930s, illustrated by Patrick Cook. These short tales are the showcase for Lower's natural anarchy - whether it is Banking, A Tip from the Treasurer or The Cruel Tactics of the Emu, Lower's heroic attempts at a plausible explanation range from savage to subtle, slapstick to nonsensical. Above all you get the low-down on the Terrors of Wealth, The Perils of the Bathtub and How Men must Pay Heavily to be Beautiful. Seventy-three tales to amuse and delight - tall tales and true from the Lexicon of Laughter.
* Classic Australian humour back in print, all illustrated by Patrick Cook. First time in paperback. * Review copies, some ABC Radio interest.
