Description
When children’s author, artist and illustrator May Gibbs (1877–1969) published Snugglepot and Cuddlepie in 1918, with its adorable gumnut babies, it was eagerly accepted by delighted readers and has never been out of print since.
Gibbs’ opening inscription reveals her passion for the Australian bush: ‘Humans please be kind to all Bush Creatures and don’t pull flowers up by the roots’.
The stamp and coin cover is highly collectable, featuring a pictorial envelope with the Snugglepot and Cuddlepie stamp from the Children's Bush Classics stamp issue and a coin from the Royal Australian Mint.
