Description

• First Edition [G. Hassell & Son, Adelaide, 1905]; 16 pages; illustrated paper wraps, staplebound, title page details on front, a little bumped at corners, crease down middle causing some offsetting internally, an excellent  copy
• In April, 1905, a red booklet titled Arcadian Adelaide was hurled like a molotov cocktail into the good society of Adelaide. In May, this booklet hastily emerged “in refutation of what she says about us and our beautiful, clean, and wholesome little city.”
• Anderson’s sequel, The Arcadians, includes a three-page rebuttal to Mrs Ellis’ booklet
