Quintessentially Australian, these delightful tales have never been out of print; indeed the fantasy world of May Gibbs has been a source of continual fascination for generations of children. May's is a world filled with fears and excitement and adventures both extraordinary and everyday. A world peopled with small creatures, where the real mixes tantalizingly with the imaginary and provides a window to the magic we all believe exists in the bush.

This paperback edition of Australia's best-loved children's book includes the original illustrations, bringing alive the enchanting world of the gumnut babies and other bush characters for today's generation.

The much-loved Australian classic, now beautifully repackaged for a new generation of children.
