by Doris Rust

Illustrated by Cecil Elgee.

London: Faber and Faber, (1968).

First edition, first printing.

Charming pen-and-ink illustrations throughout, of realistically portrayed animals who happen to be making fires, rowing a boat, talking, or laughing.

Eight animal tales adapted from the legends of the Australian Aborigines: including the story of how a crane and a kangaroo-rat first discovered fire; how an enormous frog caused a drought by drinking all the water, and six more.

Fine in semi-glossy yellow and teal-blue boards with black illustration depicting three jumping kangaroos to the front cover, and with black titles to the spine; in a price-clipped, else fine dust jacket that mirrors the cover design and art.

Square octavo; 56 pages.
