One of the great books of Australian fantasy. The prose in this book are among the best you will ever find. The themes the book touches on are absolutely defining of Australia. I would recommend this book to people who want a fantasy book that defines Australia and to people who are interested in fantasy with a political flair.

This book came into my life years ago when I was working for a kindergarten teacher who loved Mem Fox, I soon learned why as this book and so many of her others have made me and the children I have read them to happy. This is such a cute story and it makes me want to try all of the Aussie foods mentioned within!
