When Snugglepot and Cuddlepie arrive in the Big City, they have lots of plans. But in their usual Gumnut way, these two little Nuts get side-tracked by new friends and thrilling adventures.

These adventures are contemporary retellings of May Gibbs’ original tales, bringing her Australian folklore to a younger generation.
About the Author:
May Gibbs (1877-1969) came to Australia at the age of four.
Even as a child May drew and painted, encouraged by her parents.
She studied art, both in Western Australia and in England, before settling in Sydney to follow a successful career as a writer and illustrator of children’s books.
Her most famous book, Tales of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, was published in 1918.
Her bestselling series featuring the Gumnut babies, their friends and their foes, established an enduring mythology of the Australian bush for generations raised firmly on traditional European fairytales.
In 1955, she received an MBE for her contribution to children’s literature.
