Walkabout / James Vance Marshall ; retold by Jim Alderson ; illustrated by Trevor Parkin. - First edition Reprinter - 77 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm. - Heinemann guided readers. Intermediate level ; 20 . - Heinemann guided readers. Intermediate level .
Though on the surface Walkabout is an adventure story, darker themes lie just beneath. Peter’s innocent friendship with the Aboriginal throws into relief Mary’s no longer childish anxiety, and together raise questions about how Aboriginal and Western culture can meet. And in the vivid descriptions of the natural world, we realize that this story—a deep fairy tale in the spirit of Adalbert Stifter’s Rock Crystal—must also be a story about the closeness of death and the power of nature
