Gum-Blossom Babies -
May Gibbs
1916 - Angus & Robertson Ltd, Sydney - First Edition, first printing [Printed by The H. & H. Printing Co, 199a Sussex Street, Sydney]
The highly uncommon and fragile true first edition of the second book in May Gibb’s famous Gum Nut series, which laid the way for her series of ten longer books relating the adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie (and their friends and relations) over the next quarter of a century. Just the first two booklets in the series were issued in this larger format with yap edges. Charmingly illustrated with a colour plate tipped onto the front covers, a different coloured frontispiece and 11 sepia tinted plates.
