Walkabout is a survival story for children written by James Vance
Marshall. Mary and her young brother Peter are the only survivors
of an aircrash in the middle of the Australian outback. Facing
death from exhaustion and starvation, they meet an aboriginal boy
who helps them to survive, and guides them along their long
journey. But a terrible misunderstanding results in a tragedy that
neither Mary nor Peter will ever forget . . . Reissued in the 'A
Puffin Book' series of Puffin modern classics for children,
Walkabout has been continuously in print since its first
publication over 50 years ago.
Ten of Australia's ancient aboriginal legends, authentically and
elegantly retold and illustrated by one of the most well-known
artists working in the tradition. Discover how Great Mother Snake
created and peopled the world with plants and creatures, what makes
Frogs croak, why Kangaroo has a pouch, and just what it is that
makes Platypus so special in this impressive collection of
illustrated aboriginal legends. With stunning vibrant artwork from
aboriginal artist and storyteller Francis Firebrace, whose
distinctive, colourful work is known throughout Australia and
beyond.
