Storm Boy and his father live alone in a humpy among the sandhills
between the Southern Ocean and the Coorong - a lonely, narrow waterway
that runs parallel to a long stretch of the South Australian coast.
Among the teeming birdlife of the Coorong, Storm Boy finds an injured
young pelican whose life he saves.
From then on, Storm Boy and Mr Percival the pelican become inseparable
friends and spend their days exploring the wave-beaten shore and the
drifting sandhills.
For over fifty years Australian children have been captivated by this
timeless, unforgettable tale of friendship. Commended by the Children's
Book Council of Australia in 1964, adapted for film, stage and audio
dramatisation, and now newly illustrated by Andrew Davies in this gift
edition, Storm Boy has profoundly touched generations of readers and
become a classic work of Australian children's literature.
