Publisher's Synopsis
The Magic Pudding is a classic Australian children's book written and illustrated by Norman Lindsay. It tells the story of a magical pudding that never runs out, no matter how much is eaten. The pudding is owned by a group of friends: Bunyip Bluegum, a koala, Bill Barnacle, a sailor, and Sam Sawnoff, a penguin. They are constantly pursued by a group of villains who want to steal the pudding for themselves. The book is filled with humorous characters, witty dialogue, and fantastical adventures. It has been beloved by Australian children for generations and is considered a classic of Australian literature. The Magic Pudding is a delightful and entertaining read for children and adults alike.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.
