A beloved treasure of Australian children's literature, Puddin' Poems: Being The Best Of The Verse From The Magic Pudding gathers the most delightful and whimsical verse drawn from Norman Lindsay's classic comic fantasy, The Magic Pudding. The collection presents the rollicking, irreverent songs and poems sung by the unforgettable characters — the gruff Bunyip Bluegum, the salty sailor Bill Barnacle, and the boisterous Sam Sawnoff — as they defend their extraordinary, ever-replenishing pudding from a gang of scheming pudding-thieves. Lindsay's verse crackles with a boisterous, larrikin wit that is unmistakably Australian in spirit, blending slapstick humour with a gleeful absurdity that has charmed readers of all ages since the original work's publication in 1918. Each poem illustrates the anarchic joy and camaraderie at the heart of the original story, making this compilation a perfect standalone celebration of one of the most inventive voices in Australian literary history.
