Pedley is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a little girl named Dot who finds herself lost in the Australian bush, where she encounters a kind kangaroo. Together, they embark on a journey filled with adventures, magical conversations, and a quest to help Dot find her way home while learning about the flora and fauna of Australia. At the start of the tale, Dot has become separated from her home while gathering flowers and is overwhelmed by fear and loneliness. As she sits under a tree, contemplating her situation, a grey kangaroo appears, offering her comfort and assistance. The kangaroo exhibits a deep understanding of Dot's plight and begins to engage her in conversation, revealing that she, too, has lost something—her baby kangaroo. This opening portion sets the stage for their burgeoning friendship and hints at the whimsical nature of the bush, where animals can communicate with humans and each possesses distinct personalities and perspectives. As they align their goals – Dot's need to find her way home and the kangaroo's desire to reunite with her child – the story promises a charming exploration of both the Australian landscape and the bond between the girl and her new friend.
