‘On all the big Gumtrees there are Gumnut Babies. Some people see them and some don’t; but they see everybody and everything. Possibly, that’s how their eyes have grown so big.’

Gumnut Babies brings together in one volume much-loved works by May Gibbs that include the storybooks of the Gumnut babies, the adventures of Nuttybub and Nittersing, and the stories of those two inquisitive little Gumnuts, Chucklebud and Wunkydoo.

The Gumnut world that May Gibbs created, with its tiny heroes and heroines and deliciously villainous villains, has delighted many generations of children - and adults. And whether you are rediscovering these stories, or reading them for the first time, Gumnut Babies is a true Australian classic to be treasured.
