Publisher's Synopsis
The Magic Pudding is a classic Australian children's book written and illustrated by Norman Lindsay. The story follows the adventures of three friends, Bunyip Bluegum, Bill Barnacle, and Sam Sawnoff, as they set out to find and capture a magical pudding that never runs out. This pudding, named Albert, has the ability to replenish itself no matter how much is eaten from it. Along the way, the trio encounters a cast of eccentric characters, including a lawyer possum, a sailor penguin, and a bandicoot who is always on the lookout for a free meal. The book is filled with humor, adventure, and clever wordplay, making it a beloved classic of Australian children's literature. The Magic Pudding has been adapted into several stage productions and a 2000 animated film.The plain truth was that Bunyip and his Uncle lived in a small house in a tree, and there was no room for the whiskers. What was worse, the whiskers were red, and they blew about in the wind, and Uncle Wattleberry would insist on bringing them to the dinner table with him, where they got in the soup.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
