Storm Boy

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.

Printre viata plina de pasari din Coorong, Storm Boy gaseste un tanar pelican ranit, a carui viata o salveaza. peste cincizeci de ani copii australieni au fost captivati de aceasta poveste atemporala, de neuitat, a prieteniei.
