Almost every boy has at some time made a kite. But few boys have
ever made a kite with so much a mind of its own as Obstreperous.
Though it was made in the normal way, with sticks and string and
paper and rags, it did not fly in anything like a normal way. At
first it didn't fly at all because there was no wind. And then when
the winds came, it dipped and bounced and created all sorts of
problems for its maker. In the end, too, it had its way and left
some people happy and some a little sad. An international treasure
from the Australian countryside, 1969's Obstreperous is one of
author Ted Greenwood's best-loved children's books. Anthology is
pleased to bring it back into print for the first time in
generations.
