This delightful story from she who gave us When Santa Got Stuck in a Gum Tree, should come with a WARNING sticker, because if you are familiar with A. B. Paterson’s The Man from Snowy River and, in particular the version by Wallis and Matilda then you are going to have an earworm for the rest of the day.
