A light-hearted account of an improbable side of Victorian England,
this history tells of the pet wombat owned by Pre-Raphaelite
painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the late-19th century fad of
owning Australian animals as pets. This examination also looks at
the way a wombat participated in the delicate relationships between
the men and women in the Pre-Raphaelite circle--particularly
Rossetti's emotional affair with Jane Morris, wife of his friend
and colleague William. Fully illustrated with drawings and etchings
of the period, this work will appeal to those with an interest in
Victorian England, the Pre-Raphaelites, as well as wombat lovers
the world over.
