Humour
Written in Australia in the '30s to '50s. Some titles still available in paperback.  Reflects some prevalent racist attitudes and beliefs of the period.
English writer of the '30s.  Most titles out of print, but some turn up occasionally at second-hand sales and antiquarian bookstores.
I Sing the Body Electric
British class humour of the '50s.  You either "get" Molesworth or you don't.  I neither kno nor care.
