Cecilia May Gibbs MBE was a very famous Australian children’s author, illustrator and cartoonist, best known of course for her gumnut babies and the the book Snugglepot and Cuddlepie (1877-1969). Truly an Australian treasure, her famous bush fantasy world has captured Australian imaginations for over a century, yet this modern presentation is an attractive assessment of her life and artistic development from around 1900 onwards. A most beautiful book for any age.
