Snugglepot and Cuddlepie are a pair of Gumnut brothers who embark on a journey through the Australian bush to see a human for the first time. Join them as they befriend Little Ragged Blossom and Little Obelia, all the while getting up to mischief and adventure. Along the way, they meet a lively cast of characters including the affable Mr Lizard, the wicked Mrs Snake, and the evil Banksia Men.

This book combines three classic stories of Australian children’s literature: Tales of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, Little Ragged Blossom, and Little Obelia. These tales laid the foundations of an Australian folklore over 100 years ago and continue to captivate and inspire generations past and present.
