They play prankson the folk of LillyVille, they cause havoc in the valleyand they upset the fairies and elves. Those newcomersare Barry Badger and Tub the Toad.Neither Barry Badger nor Tub the Toad understandsthe order of things in the Shire. Barry’s youth andexuberance allow him to be led astray by the cunningof Tub the Toad and both find themselves the centreof attention for all the wrong reasons.The fairy, Princess Yllil, attempts to help Barry Badgerin his quest for recognition while, at other times, it isher brother, Prince Staj, who alerts inhabitants ofYandilla Shire to pending danger. The fairies link allthe characters together as the yarns unfold.The yarns are based on incidents that highlight peculiar attributes of specific Australian animals. Wise Woggle Wombat can be heard giving rhyming advice and, together with Kevin Kanga’s strength and common sense, the two Australian animals present an under-current of knowledge about the Australian bush.Because the yarns develop over time they grow in sophistication of plot and vocabulary. Similarly, Barry Badger matures in his manners and understanding as he gets closer and closer to being a ‘true blue’ Aussie.A Glossary of Special Words including “Strine” is found at the end of each yarn to encourage readers to tinker with tools in the head to investigate new knowledge.
