Blinky Bill
Blinky Bill is an anthropomorphic koala and children's fictional character created by New Zealand-born Australian author Dorothy Wall. The character of Blinky first appeared in Brooke Nicholls' 1933 book, ''Jacko - the Broadcasting Kookaburra'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blinky Bill Figurine )〕 which was illustrated by Wall. Wall then featured Blinky Bill in a series of her own books, including ''Blinky Bill: The Quaint Little Australian'', ''Blinky Bill Grows Up'', and ''Blinky Bill and Nutsy''. The books are considered quintessential Australian children's classics, and have never been out of print in Australia.
==Themes and writing style==
While telling the adventures of Blinky Bill, a naughty little boy in the form of a koala, the stories also present messages of conservation. Blinky Bill is known for his mischievousness and his love for his mother. His friends include his adopted sister Nutsy, his kangaroo friend Splodge, his platypus friend Flap, Marcia the marsupial mouse, and his mentor Mr Wombat or Wombo, as Blinky prefers to call him. In general throughout the stories he does things that are realistic for koalas as well as things that child readers would like to do. Wall tells the stories directly to the children and Blinky often interacts with the readers in an introduction. Her dedications are often to 'All the Kind Children', with her own son Peter and other common Australian names of the 1930s appearing. The books are also fully illustrated by Dorothy Wall herself.
