A new settlement brings new strains to the human and the wild communities. The settlers become defensive, and war breaks out between bush rats and bandicoots. Only the worried Ranger, whose territory this is, understands the problem; but only the animals, helped by an ancient magic of the country, can solve it." (Source: Book Jacket)

'A boy and his father travel in their boat, ‘Time Machine’ to a stretch of beach beside a primordial tropical rainforest. As the boy walks among the trees he imagines the forest as it might have been in the past. Dinosaurs emerge, barely perceptible, from a tangle of trunks and vines; the faint outlines of an aboriginal child melt into a background of trees and in the final haunting scene the unspoiled vista readers have toured is overlaid with translucent images of a possible future civilisation..'
