A propos de cet article

WEST AUSTRALIANANaked midnight romps at the Dalkeith Hot Pool scandalised prim Perth in the 1930s.It's now just a grassy riverbank, but in the 1930 the Dalkeith open-air hot pool was notorious for semi-clothed antics after dark.There will never be another newspaper like the Mirror. for thirty-five years the 'clean dirty 'paper' amused, titillated, enraged and occasionally even informed its readers. Everyone read the Mirrorbut few would admit to it.While respectable people loved to hate the Mirror, its proprietors became men of wealth and influence, courted by the powerful and feared by those with something to hide. Their pack of braying newshounds left no stone unturned in the quest for the good story, never letting the facts get in their way. The story of the Mirror, a Perth newspaper. The Mirror ran from 1921-1956 and was the "scandal sheet" of its day.With the insight and irreverent affection only an insider can bring, Ron Davidson tells the amazing story of the life and times of the Mirror,from its acquisition by two former office boys to its demise at the hands of Rupert Murdoch. High Jinks at the Hot Pool is a fast-moving, witty and thoroughly accessible look at some important but hitherto neglected aspects of our history.239 p. : ill., ports. ; 21 cm. #180322/260124/241224 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
