AbstractHistoryArchive Description

E. Morris Miller and Frederick Macartney's Australian Literature : A Bibliography to 1938: Extended to 1950 (1956): 448 comments: 'A Girl with Red Hair consists of stories of modern life, taking its title from the longest of them. The girl after much wayward coquetry, marries, but even after the birth of a son she fails to settle down. Morbidly depressed at the prospect of another child, her indifference when it is born vanishes when the nurse tells her that it is a girl with red hair.'
