Bumblegoose was never quite the goose that he could or should have been, but he did it anyway. On inner levels, there are his own doubts, fears and insecurities, too numerous to mention. On outer levels, he must deal with the three powerful henchladies, Mrs. White, Mrs. Pumphrey and Miss Daisybush, in their usual militant mood. At a time when the Pond community is moving from a simple way of living to a new technological age, he must adapt to the changing times.

In the background, there is always lurking danger, culminating in a direct confrontation with his archrival and nemesis, the behemoth Fang. Was Bumblegoose a classical hero, as the Northern tradition suggests, or was he just a bumbling fool who got lucky and benefited from his wise friends, as the Southern tradition claims? Or was he actually a transcendent being from another dimension, with strange and marvellous powers, as the Oral traditions assert?

Only the reader can discern fact from fiction, legend from myth, uncovering in the process the true nature of the reality of those perilous times.

About the Author

Grant Lambert escaped from his native Van Diemen's Land as a teenager. He then sought to act like a grownup, completing a PhD in science, academic exploits overseas, and then further training in natural therapies. In the writer's own view, Bumblegoose is a project of his second childhood. However, those who know him well would seriously question whether he ever actually emerged from the first.

A creature fitting his description has occasionally been sighted in recent decades in the tree fern and Mountain Ash environment of the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne. Others dispute these alleged sightings, claiming that he is actually extinct along with the Tasmanian Tiger.

Melbourne, VIC.
