'Australia's most remarkable bird is immortalised in an enchanting new book for children.

'When Edith met a cheeky young young lyrebird on her garden path, she could not guess that he would one day be known as 'A Miracle of the Dandenongs'.

'This true story, retold by Jackie Kerin and beautifully illustrated by Peter Gouldthorpe, celebrates a memorable friendship between a gardener and one of Australia's most extraordinary birds.' (Publication summary)
