Blinky Bill is a mischievous koala who lives in the Australian bush. Keen for adventure, he sets off to see the world. On his journeys, he makes trouble in Miss Pimm’s shop, meets Old Wombo (Mr. Wombat), joins a Frog Choir and gets invited to a Rabbit’s Birthday Party.
Blinky Bill was written by Dorothy Wall, a New-Zealand born Australian author and has been adapted for television and cinemas. This is the first book of three in The Complete Adventures of Blinky Bill series.
Dorothy Wall (1894–1942) was a New Zealand-born Australian author and illustrator best known for creating the beloved children’s character Blinky Bill. She moved to Australia in 1914 and published The Tale of Bridget and the Bees in 1924, which marked the beginning of her career in children’s literature. Wall wrote and illustrated Blinky Bill: The Quaint Little Australian in 1933, which became a national icon and was followed by several sequels. Her legacy lives on through adaptations of Blinky Bill in television and film.
