THE MAGIC PUDDING
By
Being the Adventures of Bunyip Bluegum and His Friends Bill Barnacle and Sam Sawneff (and, I should add, the steak and kidney pudding). The sort of book certain types of adults think children just love -- and that (unless shared by an adult who enjoys it) I have rarely seen received with any enthusiasm. A silly story, meant to be funny -- obscure plot with strings of nonsense verse -- very British.
