The Dog on the Tuckerbox
by Corinne Fenton, illustrated by Peter Gouldthorpe
Look inside!
The Dog on the Tuckerbox is the story of Lady and her master Bill.
It is the story of Australia’s pioneers; the bullockies who worked the rough tracks, and of one dog’s unwavering loyalty to her master. From the award-winning author and illustrator of Queenie: One Elephant’s Story.
Reviews
Like Queenie, this too has the feeling of a meticulous yet lovingly researched story *****
— Hilary Adams, Bookseller+Publisher
It is this relationship between master and dog that captures the Australian spirit and makes the book small in length, but huge in heart
— Sarah Warne, Weekly Times
A visual and literary delight
— Sally Murphy, aussiereviews.com
This beautiful, thoughtful picture book depicts a lost time that is well worth revisiting. It will leave an impression long after happier, lighter tales have faded.
— Bruno Moro, Readings
Working together, (Corinne and Peter) have timelessly re-created the social realism of this historical period to give new life to an iconic Australian folk tale
— Chloe Mauger, Magpies
