Australia Australian Children's Illustration Children's Illustrators Bottersnikes Juliet O'Conor

Bottersnikes and Other Lost Things by Australian scholar Juliet O’Conor unearths the curious history behind beloved—and forgotten—children’s characters like the Bottersnikes and Gumbles. This lavishly illustrated hardback blends art, nostalgia and literary insight, making it a treasure for collectors of Australian picture books, fantasy art and classic bedtime tales alike.

The 2009 first edition from The Miegunyah Press arrives in near-pristine condition: clean pages, tight binding, original dust jacket, and a numbered copy that signals true scarcity on the antiquarian market. At 261 pages, the book is substantial enough for adults yet still browsable for curious kids and teens fascinated by vintage illustration.

Ideal for gift-giving or shelf-showcasing, this smoke-free copy preserves Australia’s illustrated heritage in a format that feels both scholarly and storybook-charming. Secure this numbered first printing before it disappears like the legends it celebrates.
