Items related to MIDNITE - The Story of a Wild Colonial Boy
A hundred years ago in Western Australia there lived a boy called Midnite. He was seventeen and all alone in the world except for five animals - a rather silly cow called Dora, a tall and noble-minded horse called Red Ned, a short-tempered cockatoo called Major, a willing sheepdog called Gyp and a very wise and handsome Siamese cat called Khat. Midnite himself, although nice, was not really very bright and it was Khat who first suggested that he might become a bushranger and call himself Captain Midnite (for non-Australians, a bushranger is a kind of highwayman). His adventures - how he kept getting put in prison by his delightful but treacherous best friend Trooper O'Grady, and how Khat and the other animals kept getting him out - are full of fun and excitement. There was also a girl he wanted to marry, but she was rather treacherous too - not like Mrs. Chiffle who always wanted to hide a bushranger under her bed. Even Queen Victoria was very upset by his bushranging until he finally became a millionaire, and then of course everyone started being very polity, though Midnite had no idea why.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Ralph Steadman (illustrator). 1st Edition. First printing thus; 8vo ( 16.5 x 22 cms); 112 pages; illustrated by Ralph Steadman with 6 full-page black & white illustrations, illustrated title-page, and chapter-headings also in Steadman's hand; hardback: mauve cloth; foxing to top edges, but otherwise a fine, clean copy without any inscriptions, in a very good, clean dust-jacket, which is not price-clipped. Based on the legend of dim-witted and accident-prone bushranger Moondyne Joe, in Western Australia, this is the amusing story of Captain Midnight, also none too bright, and his five good animal friends who helped him in his bushranging exploits. Originally published in 1967, this new edition has an entirely re-set text, and features the unmistakeable illustrations of Ralph Steadman, which have also been redone and added to for this edition.
