In other parts of the world writers of no special merit are making large incomes by turning out conventional sporting novels.
In Australia Mr. Arthur Wright, the best sporting novelist of them all, is apparently content with a purely local reputation.
The people are credible, the emotions are convincing and not strained, and the sporting color is (as far as a non-sporting reviewer can judge) all that it should be.
[1]The Sydney Morning Herald stated that: Arthur Wright has reduced the construction of sporting tales to an exact science.
There are abductions, false marriages, adventures of every kind, all the ingredients, in fact, of a sensational tale, and the background is the racecourse on which all of Mr. Wright's characters move with such familiar ease.
