Under the pseudonym Jay Jingle, James Morton of Victoria wrote a satirical work in the tradition of Cervantes entitled The Singular Travels of Medius Middleman: Entries from the Journal of His Adventures with Similus Buljo in the Lands of Obesia and Exigua. Two travellers visit Obesia (Great Britain) and Exigua {USA) and compare the oddness of both societies. James Morton (b. 1870) of Victoria died in 1967. He might not be same James Morton who wrote a biography of Premier John Oliver in 1933.
