The Complete Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie (May Gibbs) invites you to join the delightful journey of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, a pair of Gumnut brothers exploring the Australian bush with the dream of seeing a Human for the first time.

Along their adventure, they meet and befriend Little Ragged Blossom and Little Obelia, embarking on lively escapades and encountering a vibrant cast of characters. Among those they meet are the affable Mr Lizard, the wicked Mrs Snake, and the sinister Banksia Men.

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