Die Abenteuer des Bunyip Bluegum. Humorvoller englischer Kinderbuchklassiker von 1918.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magi... [accessed 22-Feb-2012] The Magic Pudding "is a comic fantasy, and a classic of Australian children's literature. The story is set in Australia with humans mixing with anthropomorphic animals. It tells of a magic pudding which, no matter how often it is eaten, always reforms in order to be eaten again. It is owned by three companions who must defend it against Pudding Thieves who want it for themselves. The book is divided into four "slices" instead of chapters. There are many short songs interspersed throughout the text, varying from stories told in rhyme to descriptions of a character's mood or behaviour, and verses of an ongoing sea song."
