A famous book with magnificent paintings and illustrations.

The Death of a Wombat has been called many things: a profound allegorical statement of the human condition, a vivid and deeply moving word picture which sets a standard for imaginative feature writing.  So superlatively is the story told, we feel terrible, urgent, personal sense of tragedy in the death of this animal.

The story of a wombat's day, and a bushfire started by a bottle left lying in the scrub. Details in words and art the effect of a fire on the animals of the area, and the slow death of the wombat.
