About the koala of the Ushasti, the platypus Tikhony and others

The Australian Leslie Riis was a variety of gifted: playwright, critic, theater historian, writer and, plus everything, a hunter and an attentive observer behind nature. He traveled all over Australia, thoroughly studied the habits and behavior of animals that are found only on this continent, and wrote several poetic and cognitive books about their life.
Exotic heroes of his novels - coals, plaintos, giant sea turtles, Emu ostriches - almost like people rejoice in good circumstances and suffer from cruel and tragic events generated by natural cataclysms and, worst, the callous and unreasonable attitude of a person to the surrounding The world.
The novels are written easily and entertaining. The life of shaggy and birds of heroes is full of all kinds of adventures, but at the end of each story of the reader a happy ending awaits.
The novels of Leslie Riis are standing on a par with the works of E. Seton-Tompson, D. London, V. Bianchi, Ya. Grebovsky. A child reading such books will never torment animals.
