Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy[1] first published in 1983, is the first and most well-known of a series of books by New Zealand author Lynley Dodd featuring Hairy Maclary.[2] His adventures are usually in the company of his other animal friends who include the dachshund Schnitzel von Krumm. His arch-enemy is the tomcat Scarface Claw.
Written for pre-school children, it has become a classic bedtime storybook in New Zealand and Australia,[3][4][5] and Lynley Dodd's books, including this one, dominate the children's section of the Premier New Zealand Bestsellers list.[citation needed]
The order of introduction of the dogs (with their house number in brackets) is:
- Hairy Maclary, a small dog of mixed pedigree,[6] however bearing a similar resemblance to a Scottish Terrier, (60)
- Hercules Morse, a Mastiff, (54)
- Bottomley Potts, a Dalmatian, (52)
- Muffin McLay, an Old English Sheepdog, (48)
- Bitzer Maloney, a Whippet, (36)
- Schnitzel Von Krumm, a Dachshund, (22)
The story follows the assembly of a pack dogs going to the park, and ends when they're all scared off by a fearsome cat - Scarface Claw
Like most of Dodd's books, it is written in anapaestic verse, though it breaks into a more urgent trochaic form when the dogs encounter the cat.
It has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide and been translated into Manderin, Korean, Japanese, Swedish, Russian, Slovene[7][8] - and te reo Māori.[9] It has also been adapted into a stage play, which has been put on at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Sydney Opera House.[10]
