Review:
"'Albert, Albert, ' said Bill to the Puddin', 'where's your manners? Where's yours?' said the Puddin' rudely, 'guzzling away there and never so much as offering this stranger a slice.'"
"This is the funniest children's book ever written. I've been laughing at it for fifty years, and when I read it again this morning, I laughed as much as I ever did."
-- Philip Pullman, from the introduction
"A robust fantasy, The Magic Pudding was first published in 1918 but shows few signs of its age. It's part of a handsome, new collection of reprints, published by The New York Review of Books, aimed at rescuing neglected children's classics from 'the dustbins of history'. There's no dust on Lindsay's quirky tale about the adventures of Bunyip Bluegum, an irrepressible, polite young koala. He meets various eccentric characters who bust into song and rhyme. In the introduction to the new edition, Philip Pullman, author of "The Amber Spyglass," calls Lindsay's work 'the funniest children's book ever written...You can feel Lindsay carried away on the wings of his own energy'."
-- "USA Today," "Holiday Books"
"The illustrations are great fun, the characters burst into comic verse at the drop of a hat, and it's hard to resist."
-- "The Horn Book"
"The book is full of songs that pitch along like boats on a rough sea. The tremendous black and white drawings are full of ne'er do well character...It is an outrage that it is not on every English family's menu."
-- "The Observer"

"I think it s the funniest children s book ever written. One of the great strengths of the book is its illustration, by Lindsay himself. He was best known as a visual artist, producing thousands of paintings, etchings, drawings, and sculptures, but his pictures forThe Magic Puddingare his best work, in my view. They are so vigorous and absurd, so strongly characterized and brilliantly detailed, that my eye delights in them still.

Norman Lindsay (1879-1970) wrote The Magic Pudding to settle an argument with a friend who claimed that children liked to read about fairies. Lindsay argued instead that they liked to read about food. The author of several novels, Lindsay was also a caricaturist, sculptor, painter, and pen-and-ink artist renowned in Australia and beyond.
