First published in 1918, "The Magic Pudding" is considered a children's classic, and continues to be reprinted. The first edition was sold as a ‘guinea book’ (21 shillings). It was a limited edition quality art book. Out-of-print outside Australia for many years, the book was re-issued in 2004 by The New York Review Children's Collection. In Australia a new edition was released in 2008 to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the book, and October 12 was declared "Pudding Day"; this new 2008 edition featured the original artwork as well as a biography, the first book reviews, letters between Lindsay and his publisher, and various recipes. In 2018 HarperCollins released a centenary edition, and the State Library of New South Wales opened an exhibition of Lindsay's original drawings for the book.
