The Dream of the Thylacine

by Margaret Wild   |  Ages 8-11
$8.90
The Dream of the Thylacine
The Dream of the Thylacine

Haunting tribute to Tasmania's extinct marsupial.

If you're drawn to tales that intertwine the grace of wildlife with the art of storytelling, "The Dream of the Thylacine" is a poignant choice. Its pages are a canvas where illustrations and words meld to stir emotions, offering a profound narrative on extinction and the irreplaceable void it leaves. Paging through this book is not just reading; it's an experience that lingers, much like the ghostly presence of the thylacine itself.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The Dream of the Thylacine is a lament for a lost species, and a celebration of the Australian landscape. It interposes arresting text and images of the last known thylacine in a concrete cage with sweeping colour paintings of the animal in its natural environment. Intense, poetic and beautiful, this book will haunt you. Margaret Wild and Ron Brooks have created three other exceptional picture books together: Old Pig, Rosie and Tortoise and Fox.
