An Australian Accent - Forty Stories (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

"Australian humour has a long history that can be traced back to our origins as convict colonies. It is therefore no surprise that a national sense of humour quickly developed that responded to those conditions. This unique sense of humour is recognised (although maybe not always understood) the world over as being distinctly Australian. Our humour is dry, full of extremes, anti-authoritarian, self-mocking and ironic." Source: Australian Government Cultural and Recreation Portal (culture.gov.au). Not all the stories in this collection are humorous but most of them are. They have all been published elsewhere.Tasmanian born John Craig is a retired teacher.
