$4.30 Bitzer Maloney
Each stamp in our Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy stamp issue features one of the six dogs from the original children’s book. You can display your favourite character at home with this A3 art print.
In her original hand-written plan for the book, made before she wrote the words or illustrated them, Lynley Dodd describes one dog that is a “mongrel … a thin bitser” and then asks, “name Bitzer?”. With a curlicued tail and prancing step, Bitzer Maloney seems cheerfully highly strung.
This stamp issue celebrates the 40th anniversary of Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy, the first book in New Zealand author Dame Lynley Dodd’s beloved children’s series. Click here for more information about the stamp issue.
