The Horn Book Magazine "The illustrations are great fun, the characters burst into comic verse at the drop of a hat...hard to resist." Book Description 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.

From the Inside Flap "This is the funniest childrens book ever written. Ive been laughing at it for fifty years, and when I read it again this morning, I laughed just as much as I ever did. Theres no point in trying to explain why its funny. If theres anyone so bereft of humour that they can read these words and look at these pictures without laughing, then heaven help them, because theyre beyond the reach of advice, instruction or despair." --Philip Pullman, from the introduction About the Author Norman Lindsay (1879-1970) wrote The Magic Pudding to settle an argument with a friend who claimed that children liked to read about fairies. Lindsay argued instead that they liked to read about food. The author of several novels, Lindsay was also a caricaturist, sculptor, painter, and pen-and-ink artist renowned in Australia and beyond. Philip Pullman is the author of the trilogy His Dark Materials. He lives in Oxford, England. Related Free eBooks
