The Virgin of Rooty Hill: And Other Stories From the Smoking Room

Who is "The Lounge Lizard"? And who is "A Courtier"?

"The Lounge Lizard" is a former Sydney investigative journalist, and "A Courtier" is a well-known Australian artist.

It is not through modesty that the author and illustrator are hiding behind their chosen pseudonyms. Both are Members of a Sydney Club that traditionally prefers to stay out of the public spotlight. As loyal club-members, they have decided to abide by that tradition.

This volume is one of many published by The Svengali Press (recently DH Lawrence's 99 Days in Australia). The Svengali Press helps authors publish books that the old world of publishing cannot or will not bring to the public's attention. We stand ready to help any author, no matter what they write, to take advantage of the new, exciting world of combined print and digital publishing.
