From the foreword: “These stories are true. Although I have left the strict line of historical truth in many places, the animals in this book were all real characters. They lived the lives I have depicted, and showed the stamp of heroism and personality more strongly by far than it has been in the power of my pen to tell.3 GradesWild Animals I Have Known

In this light-hearted story of the great open spaces, Wily gets himself in and out of a lot of strife. He is ably assisted in his nuisance-making by a wide variety of bush birds and animals, as well as a quartet of small boys, all of whom have their own troubles without a wagtail adding to them. Such doings are most deplorable, but they make excellent reading for young and old.Willy Wagtail

Sample Here is something entirely new in Australian natural history stories for youngsters–an exciting and humorous detective mystery tale of the busy, in which birds and animals play major parts. Clumsy old Bill the wombat, they grumpiest creature in the bush, is a positive pain in the neck and a great nuisance to police trying to investigate the theft by two thieves of a Chinese treasure box. The police are also pestered by two small boys, lovable but mischievous young rascals, and by several suspiciously-acting and inscrutable Chinese. But it is grumpy old Bill the wombat and his feathered and furred bush friends who take the center of the stage and provide a great deal of the comedy and excitement. Authentic as to detail, the book provides young readers with much information about the interesting marsupial wombat, a creature hitherto neglected by Australian natural history writers. Wombat is a noteworthy addition to the popular bush animal and bird series by popular writer C. K. Thompson.Wombat
