1 author picked The Magic Pudding as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I was a little girl, I remember being given this book, and I loved it. I read it from cover to cover, again and again, which fired my fascination for Australia. Seriously, who wouldn’t be enthralled by a bad-tempered pudding with impossibly skinny arms and legs, called Albert?

From Victoria's list on Australia (to read before you visit).
