Romance: The Australian Fiction Magazine

Country: Australia
Total Issues: 5

"Romance is a magazine for Australian readers, by Australian writers. We do not, however, print our stories because they are written by Australians, but because they are worth printing. While a certain number of our stories each month will reflect the vigor and vitality characteristic of Australian life, others will mirror the glamour and mystery of other lands."
