"Bunyip Land" is the story of an eminent botanist, who ventures into the
interior of New Guinea in his search for new plants. Years pass away,
and he does not return; and though supposed to be dead, his young wife
and son refuse to believe it; and as soon as he is old enough young Joe
goes in search of his father, accompanied by Jimmy, a native black.
Their adventures are many and exciting, but after numerous perils they
discover the lost one, a prisoner among the blacks, and bring him home
in triumph.

"One of the best tales of adventure produced by
any living writer, combining the inventiveness of
Jules Verne, and the solidity of character and
earnestness of spirit which have made the English
victorious in so many fields of labour and
research."--_Daily Chronicle._

estimation."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
