Booktopia Comments

BOTTERSNIKES AND OTHER LOST THINGS is a comprehensive collection of Australian children's illustrations from the very early years of publishing in Australia to the present day. It could be a book for a collector, a coffee table book for someone who likes lovely hardback books on their coffee table or for people (like me) who love flipping through books with lots of illustrations from a variety of artists and designers. You will find in this book illustrations by May Gibbs, Norman Lindsay, Ron Brooks, Julie Vivas and hundreds of others.

It's a treasure trove of Australia's world-class picture book illustrations and designs.

Product Description

Lazy Bottersnikes in outback rubbish tips, Sir Pronoun's dilemma about standing in Miss Noun's place and the story of how Jack built a house, a hut or a shack are all to be found in this treasury of Australian children's books. Exploring everything from schooldays to fantasy worlds, from its 19th century beginnings to the 21st century, this book is remarkable for its breadth of coverage, encouraging new ways of seeing the Australian child's literary history. Bottersnikes, Gumbles and Zookies: A Treasury of Australian Children's Literature is beautifully illustrated and includes works from some of Australia's best known and loved writers and illustrators: Mem Fox and Patricia Mullins, Bob Graham, Libby Hathorn and Gregory Rogers, Gary Crew and Shaun Tan, Pamela Allen and old favourites such as May Gibbs and Ida Rentoul Outhwaite. This book illuminates the icons of Australian children's literature, and is a wonderful collection for those passionate about children's books.
