Albert knows it's somewhere in the middle of the Outback - not the ideal habitat for a water-loving animal - but now he's lost and close to death.  He's saved, though, by Jack, a pyromaniac, sardine-loving wombat, who promptly gets him into even worse trouble taking him to a marsupial-only bar run by a kangaroo called O'Hanlin, getting him drunk and then burning the bar down. And this is just the beginning of Albert's adventure ...  A glorious romp of a novel, Albert of Adelaide is a story of friendship, loyalty and heroism. And marsupials. Pacy and poignant, it's completely original -- a book for people (and animals) of all ages.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43494055674075,"sku":"9781846688409-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9781846688409_6abbfa4c-fb6b-403a-83fb-f7e82dccf24e.jpg?v=1665537778","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781846688409-secondhand-albert-of-adelaide","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
