Notes

22 unnumbered pages : colour illustrations. New Zealand author, illustrator. Summary: The latest in the Kiwi Corker collection, which puts a kiwi twist on classic fairy tales. Based on Puss in boots, the Parakeet in boots does much the same sort of thing. He helps his friend Pete trick the Big Boss into thinking he is the Pongatown mayor, who is rich and impressive, in order to win the hand of his daughter. As it happens, Pete couldn't let the trickery go on and confessed to everything. But the Big Boss could see how his daughter looked at Pete and agreed to the marriage anyway, as well as retiring and giving Pete his business. Kiwi corkers : great New Zealand yarns
