Pedley is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a little girl named Dot, who finds herself lost in the Australian bush and, in her moment of despair, is befriended by a sympathetic kangaroo. Together, they embark on a journey filled with adventure, challenges, and important lessons about the natural world and the impact of humans on it. The opening of the novel introduces us to Dot as she wanders through the bush, frightened and lost. After enduring physical hardships and recalling her mother's instructions, she collapses in fear, only to be comforted by a kangaroo who understands her plight. This kangaroo shares its own sorrow over losing a baby and offers Dot magical berries that allow her to communicate with the bush's creatures. As their friendship develops, the kangaroo teaches Dot about the Australian wilderness, expressing her disdain for humans who threaten the lives of the bush animals. The opening sets the tone for themes of empathy, the connection between humans and nature, and the importance of understanding the consequences of one's actions.
