Reader's note

This is a funny book, a boy’s funny book in particular. In spite of the word ‘magic’ in the title, there is nothing sissy about it. No fairies. Only a pudding. Sometimes it was a rich odoriferous steak and kidney pudding, sometimes boiled ham roll or an apple dumpling. All you had to do was to whistle twice and turn the pudding round, and you had what you wanted. And how valuable that could be out on the Australian bush! Indeed, the pudding was such a prove that there were ‘professional puddin’-owners’ and alas, ‘professional puddin’ thieves.’ one of the owners was Sam Sawnoff whose feet were sitting down even when his body was standing up (he was a penguin), but Bill was just an ordinary small man with a large hat. The pudding had its own view, and was apt to sing in a very gruff voice.
