The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke

First published in 1915, The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke had sold 66,000 copies during World War One and C.J. Dennis had captured the imagination of a nation. So too had Hal Gye, whose larrikin-cherubs were, and still are, accepted as the proper embodiment of The Bloke and his Doreen. It is therefore with great pleasure that we present this new Imprint edition with the original colour plates, cover, frontispiece and title page - all prepared by Hal Gye. All bring a new dimension to The Bloke, Doreen, The Stror at Coot and Mar - those naked, winged cherups of immense charm and invention which enliven Dennis's salty and heartwarming verse. With a new introduction by John Derum.
