The Magic Pudding: The Adventures Of Bunyip Bluegum

Believing wholeheartedly that children preferred food to fairies, Norman Lindsay concocted a recipe for success that has lingered for ninety years. Here are the adventures of Sam Sawnoff, Barnacle Bill and Albert, the cut and come again pudding, who requires 'politeness and constant eatin'. This beautifully designed new edition of a perennial favourite also includes a section, 'From the Publisher's Archives' containing a fascinating collection of correspondence between Norman Lindsay and his publishers, Angus & Robertson. The letters have come from the A & R Archives held in the Mitchell Library and were selected with the assistance of Lindsay's granddaughter, Helen Glad, who also wrote a short biography of him especially for this book.
