Description
Blinky Bill, the mischievous little koala, has been a favourite with children since his first appearance in 1933. His shenanigans at Miss Pym's shop and in Farmer Smifkins's vegie patch quickly earned him a devoted following. Blinky Bill Grows Up and Blinky Bill and Nutsy followed in 1935 and 1938, and the three stories were first combined in an omnibus edition in 1939. As with Snugglepot and Cuddlepie and The Magic Pudding, the original illustrations have been re-scanned, creating a stunning version of this well-loved omnibus classic.
Author Biography
Dorothy Wall (1894-1942) was born in New Zealand, but came to Australia at the age of 20 and firmly established herself as the creator of Blinky Bill, one of Australia's most enduring and popular icons. Her charming stories about the cheeky little koala have become classics and made a significant contribution to Australian children's literature.
