About this listen

Norman Lindsay’s classic tale about an anthropomorphic pudding and its band of protectors was written in 1917, in response to an argument between Lindsay and the critic and anthologist Bertram Stevens about the types of stories that would appeal most to children. In retrospect it appears that Lindsay clearly won the argument. The book has never been out of print in Australia and has been adapted for presentation as a film, a stage play, and an opera. It has been described by eminent children’s author Philip Pullman as "the funniest children's book ever written."

The performance is not interesting - the reading voice is dull, lacks intonation, and some passages are read as if the reader has something stuck in his mouth and it’s hard to understand the text. Apart from that the story itself is somewhat outdated - resembles Alice in Wonderland style a bit
