'As a child I was fortunate enough to have a bookshelf filled with great books from all around the world, but Australian children’s classics such as The Magic Pudding and Cole’s Funny Picture Books spoke to me in a way that even at a young age I recognised as unmistakably Australian. It is difficult to define exactly what that ‘Australian-ness’ is. It’s not just—or even—about seeing Australian animals or iconical Australian places and landmarks … it’s broader and deeper than that. It’s more of a feeling—a sort of freewheeling knockabout charm that, like Vegemite, is instantly identifiable.' (Introduction)
