The adventures of those splendid fellows Bunyip Bluegum, Bill Barnacle and Sam Sawnoff, the penguin bold, and, of course, their amazing, everlasting and very crantankerous Puddin'. A very unusual pudding it is indeed. Whistle three times, turn it round and it's steak-and-kidney, if that's what you fancy, or hot jam roll, or delicious apple dumpling. Its manners are appalling, but it tastes so good! And it loves, just loves, to be eaten:

'Eat away, chew away, munch and bolt and guzzle, Never leave the table till you're full up to the muzzle,'

It rudely urges the Noble Order of Puddin'-Owners, and of course the three members are delghted to oblige.

But a secret like a magic pudding is hard to keep, and the envious eyes of the professional puddin' thieves are on the brave trio and their prize. The puddin' theives are cunning, and masters of disguise, but no match, in the end, for even the greater ingenuity of righteous puddin'-owners.

Thanks for your interest.
