Age of Consent is a 1938 Australian comic novel written and illustrated by Norman Lindsay, in which the central character is a middle-aged painter, based loosely on the author, who travels to a rural township of New South Wales in search of scenic inspiration, but who meets instead a wild adolescent girl who serves as his model and muse.[1][2] Age of Consent is dedicated to Howard Hinton. The book, first published in the United Kingdom and simultaneously in the United States, was briefly banned in Australia.[3] It was adapted for the screen in 1969.
