The first half of the 20th century was a golden age of Australian fantasy illustrators and writers, and Pixie O'Harris (1903-1991) was one of the most loved. She illustrated more than 40 fairy books, which sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Her charming woodland and sea creatures, and her appealing fairies captivated generations of children. Every year, she is remembered through the Pixie O'Harris Award, which the Australian Publishing Association gives in recognition of "distinguished and dedicated service to the development and reputation of children's books".For the first time, this lavishly designed gift edition will bring together some of Pixie's most popular works: from the entire story of Pearl Pinkie and Sea Greenie (her first children's book) to poems and stories from The Pixie O'Harris Story Book, The Pixie O'Harris Gift Book and the original Pixie O'Harris Fairy Book. With eight pages of colour plates, and beautifully-detailed black and white vignettes throughout, this book revitalises a classic Australian fantasy writer and illustrator. It introduces Pixie O'Harris to a new generation of readers and re-acquaints many with the cherished stories and illustrations of their childhood.

This early work by Dorothy Wall was originally published in 1933 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Blinky Bill: The Quaint Little Australian' is a children's story about Australia's most popular mischievous koala. Dorothy Wall was born on January the 12th, 1894 in New Zealand. From a young age Wall showed great talent as an artist and at age eleven won a scholarship for her drawing skills. She is most famous for creating Blinky Bill, an anthropomorphic koala who was the central character in her books Blinky Bill: the Quaint Little Australian, Blinky Bill Grows Up, and Blinky Bill and Nutsy. In 1985 a postage stamp honouring Wall for her creation, Blinky Bill, was issued by Australia Post as part of a set commemorating children's books.
