Bottersnikes And Other Lost Things
Shipping
Bottersnikes and Other Lost Things by Australian scholar Juliet O’Conor is a lavishly illustrated hardcover that unearths the hidden history of our favourite picture-book creatures. This 2009 first edition from The Miegunyah Press belongs on the shelf of anyone who loves children’s illustration, fantasy art or Australian literary curios.
The numbered copy arrives in very good to like-new condition: crisp pages, tight binding, protected dust jacket, from a smoke-free home. At 261 pages it is far more than a bedtime story—O’Conor traces the Bottersnikes and Gumbles from their 1970s origins through to modern reinterpretations, blending nostalgia with academic insight.
Collectors prize this debut printing for its rarity and the publisher’s trademark high production values. Whether you’re hunting Australiana, classic picture-book reference, or a unique gift for an illustrator, this copy offers both tactile charm and lasting investment appeal.
