Riddlington has returned to his Australian Bush environment, where his son, Aristotle takes centre stage. Along with his two favourite brothers, Hieronomus and Hannibal, they unwittingly engage in numerous, highly unrecommended activities and exploits, more often than not, inspired and abetted by the Three Big Black Birds who have their own motives for anything that looks like fun, and especially if it is at the expense of the vulnerable and naïve brothers. This includes a very odd, bored cloud, fairy floss, a nut job bull, a prehistoric rocking chair, sticky black gold, Hula emus, a ridgy-didge bush race, a Ferris Wheel, suicidal termites, and a pre-wake farewell. But don’t be fooled, there is nothing silly about these rabbits!

This is the second book in the Riddlington series.

Mary Raymond Black was born in Naracoorte, South Australia in 1946. She successfully completed the four-year Fine Art Sculpture course in 1967 at the South Australian School of Art. She has held one-man exhibitions in sculpture, drawings in charcoal, pastels, pencil, and ink, acrylic paintings, and ceramics. She has also self-published a book, Girls Only, consisting of 54 fine-line pen and ink drawings of the female form. She has many physical drawings on ‘Saatchi.com’ and is currently working on digital abstracts. She has also created free standing recycled works in the form of papier-mâché, and textile wall and floor art pieces. With all these skills combined, she has drifted into a written illustrative narrative which centres around the ever-expanding family of floppy eared white rabbits, the first of which is Riddlington, and now following is the story of his son Aristotle. It doesn’t stop here of course, there are currently 12 in the series. Like recycled sculptures, one thing leads to another…and another…and another.
