I love the wear on these items and thinking of all those who have loved it before it came to us to offer to you! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like further photographs. It is definitely a love and display piece rather than something to thumb through and read. It is fragile internally and the first few pages are loose and the spine is weak. The book has certainly been loved over the years and thus there is some fraying to the cover's edges and corners and watermarks on the back cover. An ordinary man struggling to survive in extraordinary circumstances, Robinson Crusoe wrestles with fate and the nature of God.Ĭonsidering its 120+ age, this particular copy has retained lovely colour to the front cover and would look fantastic as a face on antique display piece.

The dingo follows, and when it tries to jump on the wombat's back to crush the neck with its jaws, the wombat will lift itself on its powerful, earth-moving legs and crush the dingo between the hard plate of the wombat's back and the roof of the burrow. Wombats use it differently - when threatened by a dingo (the dog breed the Aborigines brought with them many thousands of years ago), the wombat will run for its burrow. Koalas use this for sleeping in the fork of branches high up in trees. When I was in Grade 6 I did an assignment on the hairy-nosed wombat, and learnt about their unique defence tactic: like koalas, wombats have a hard plate of bone on their lower back. Wombats are lazy animals - cousin to the koala, which is only awake for about 45 mins a day - and oh so adorable.

That’s why I’ve decided I would take you on a journey of my all-time favorite Asian treats. Something that’s my go-to food today might be a distant memory by next week. As a result, my tastes vary wildly depending on my mood. I like trying new things and going wherever my cravings take me. When I sat down to make a list, however, I discovered something. After all, I penned a whole novel filled to the brim with detailed descriptions of yummy pastries. When I was asked to write a post about my favorite sweets and snacks, I expected it to be easy. Aware that I had no clue how to begin, I signed up for online courses, workshops and conferences to learn the craft.
