Melbourne: Robert Jolley, 1904. First Edition. Ida Rentoul Outhwaite. Ida Rentoul Outhwaite's first book. A fragile piece, Mollie's Bunyip is extremely rare and this copy is in particularly fine condition. Essentially a private publication - certainly one with a very limited circulation - it was published when Ida was just sixteen. The text is hand-scripted by Ida's elder sister, Annie, and tells the story of a little girl's adventures in the bush where she encounters the spirit of a friendly bunyip. Bound in original illustrated wrappers, 225 mm x 192 mm, plates and sepia illustrations throughout, gift inscription, a fine copy.
