Summary:
Blinky Bill is a cheeky, mischievous anthropomorphic koala
who loves to go out and have misadventures with his bushland friends. Written
in the late 1930’s, some of the themes such as violence is not what you would
find in a modern day children’s novel, but all the same it is counted as an
Australian classic, and surprisingly has never been out of print. The book has
a theme of conservation, as at the time the logging of forests was disturbing
the Australian wildlife. Blinky Bill was adapted into a tv show which ran from
1994 to 2003 (which is arguably the most well-known version) and later made
into an animated film in 2015.
