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.

'At last an expert classicist gets to grips with Bob Dylan' Mary Beard When the Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to Bob Dylan in 2016, the literary world was up in arms. How could the world's most prestigious book prize be awarded to a famously cantankerous singer-songwriter in his Seventies, who wouldn't even deign to make a victory speech? In Why Dylan Matters, Harvard Professor Richard F. Thomas answers that question with magisterial erudition. A world expert on Classical poetry, Thomas was initially ridiculed by his colleagues for teaching a course on Bob Dylan alongside his traditional seminars on Homer, Virgil and Ovid. Dylan's Nobel prize win brought him vindication, and he immediately found himself thrust into the limelight as a leading academic voice in all matters Dylanological. This witty, personal volume is a distillation of Thomas's famous course, and makes a compelling case for moving Dylan out of the rock n' roll Hall of Fame and into the pantheon of Classical poets. The most dazzlingly original and compelling Dylan book in decades, Why Dylan Matters will amaze and astound everyone from the first-time listener to the lifetime fan. You'll never think about Bob Dylan in the same way again.

Why Dylan Matters

On October 13, 2016, it was announced that Bob Dylan had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, recognizing his countless contributions to music and letters over the last fifty years. Some months later, he delivered a lecture that will now be available in book form for generations to come. In it, he reflects on his life and experience with literature, giving readers a rare and intimate look at an American icon. From being inspired by Buddy Holly to the novels that helped shape his own approach to writing (The Odyssey, Moby Dick, and All Quiet on the Western Front), this is Dylan like you've never seen him before.
