Published in 1924 by Angus & Robertson, *Rose of Spadgers* is a significant first edition novel by the celebrated Australian poet C. J. Dennis. This prose work stands out as a sequel to Dennis's iconic 'Ginger Mick', offering readers a further exploration of the distinctive Australian larrikin world he so masterfully depicted.
C. J.

- The Larrikin World Revisited: As a direct sequel to 'Ginger Mick', this novel invites readers back into the familiar, colourful milieu of Dennis's larrikin characters, further developing their stories and the vibrant world of inner-city Melbourne he affectionately portrayed.
- A Departure into Prose: For an author predominantly celebrated for his poetic works, *Rose of Spadgers* represents a notable foray into the novel format. It showcases Dennis's versatility as a storyteller, demonstrating his ability to craft sustained narratives in prose.
- Visual Storytelling: The narrative is complemented by illustrations, enhancing the reader's immersion in the story and providing visual interpretations of Dennis's engaging characters and settings.
As a first edition and a prose sequel to one of C. J. Dennis's most famous works, *Rose of Spadgers* holds considerable appeal for collectors of Australian literature and enthusiasts of early 20th-century fiction. Its unique position in Dennis's bibliography makes it a noteworthy addition to any discerning collection.
