The only children's book on the list:
The Magic Pudding by Norman LindsayRead about the other titles on Pullman's list.
This Australian children’s classic is the funniest children’s book ever written. Lindsay’s illustrations are marvelous — full of the same wicked energy that drives his prose. I’ve loved it for more than 50 years.
See a photograph of Norman Lindsay and read a brief excerpt from The Magic Pudding at "Matilda."
