A Tale of a Tub
Robert Hendrickson notes in his book "British Literary Anecdotes" that "Swift was always partial to his strikingly original "The Tale of a Tub" (1704). On reading the work again in later years, he exclaimed 'Good God! What a genius I had when I wrote that book!'"
George Lewis Becke
In January 1892 Becke returned to Sydney and persuaded by Ernest Favenc and J. F. Archibald began to contribute stories to "The Bulletin", the first of which was "'Tis in the Blood" appearing in the edition of 6 May 1893. A collection of these stories, "By Reef and Palm", was published in England in 1894; "His Native Wife", a novelette, was published in Australia in 1895; followed by a further collection of stories, "The Ebbing of the Tide", which was published in 1896.
