'I was once addressing a conference of visiting Korean writers at the Opera House, and, talking of Henry Lawson, I mentioned that there was a statue of him nearby. The delegates expressed a wish to see it. So at the end of the session we set off into the Domain. And I couldn’t find it. For twenty minutes I led an increasingly hot and exhausted procession of close to a hundred Korean novelists and poets amongst the varieties of native flora. But of the statue of the great native writer there was not a sign. We never did find it. The episode became quite well known in Seoul.' (Introduction)
