Mulga Bill's Bicycle

AB Paterson Kilmeny & Deborah Niland

Description

Mulga Bill's Bicycle was written by Banjo Paterson in 1896 at a time when cycling was a relatively new and popular social activity. Cycles were ridden everywhere, including in the outback by shearers and other workers who needed to travel cheaply.

It tells the hilarious story of Mulga Bill, who thinks he's much better at cycling than he turns out to be. A resounding crash sends him back to his original mode of transport – his trusty horse.

The delightful illustrations catch the mood and humour of Paterson's verse with great spirit, and this book has become an enduring classic. Recommended for ages 3+.
