[Synopsis]
'Dingo King' is a literary and artistic collaboration that explores the wildlife, ecology, and natural habitat of the Australian outback through the life of a dingo. Written by Ivan Smith, the narrative avoids anthropomorphism, offering a factual and evocative depiction of the animal's struggle for survival, its hunting behaviors, territorial instincts, and interactions with both the harsh Australian environment and human encroachment.

The volume is significantly defined by the artistic contributions of Clifton Pugh, one of Australia's most prominent twentieth-century painters. The text is intertwined with Pugh's expressive illustrations, which include both full-color plates and black-and-white drawings that capture the landscape and the raw movement of native fauna. Together, the text and artwork function as a high-quality, large-format documentary piece on the natural history and cultural perception of Australia's native wild dog, making this 1977 first edition a notable example of collaborative Australian wildlife literature.
