13.3.3 Children's Literature
[This section is very incomplete cos I don't have any of my kid's
books here in the US with me. Contributions welcome! AN]
The Billabong series, by Mary Grant Bruce. Set on a station called
Billabong late last century, story of brother and sister Jim and
Norah, and Jim's friend Wally. Treatment of aboriginals rather
paternal and racist these days, but I really enjoyed these yarns as a
kid. Also by Mary Grant Bruce, "Possum". [AN]
Ivan Southall.
Colin Thiele: "Blue Fin", many others.
May Gibbs: "Snugglepot and Cuddlepie" [MJ]
Norman Lindsay: "The_Magic_Pudding"
