Published just before Christmas 1916, the first of her gumnut baby books were an instant success, and more titles quickly followed.
May Gibbs went on to become one of Australia’s most popular and enduring children’s book authors and illustrators. She was also an early environmentalist, urging her readers always to ‘be kind to all bush creatures’.
Featuring illustrations of many of her most popular characters, the display will be at Narromine Library from May 25 to June 6 and explores May Gibbs’ early work, her influences and inspirations, and the working process she followed through her career.
