Written and illustrated by the celebrated duo Percy Trezise and Dick Roughsey (Goobalathaldin), the story follows the legendary Banana Bird as he confronts the fearsome Snake Men, weaving together suspense, wonder, and the timeless power of Dreamtime storytelling.\n\nTrezise and Roughsey's collaboration stands as a landmark in Australian children's literature, bringing Aboriginal legends to the page with both cultural authenticity and breathtaking visual artistry. Roughsey's vivid, ochre-toned illustrations breathe life into a world that predates written history, while Trezise's narrative voice honours the gravity and magic of the Dreamtime tradition. Together, they present a story that is at once a thrilling adventure and a vital cultural document — leaving readers to wonder just how many more secrets the ancient Australian landscape has yet to reveal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49313643430107,"sku":"2026200016577-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cb3af266-aa84-4d42-9645-ec2473be0865.png?v=1789524919","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016577-secondhand-banana-bird-and-the-snake-men","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
