I was on vacation in Australia and kept seeing the Banksia trees everywhere. They have very strange looking “pine cone-ish” growths and I asked an Aussie on a cruise what the name of the tree is. She and a woman next to her (stranger) laughed that those trees still make them nervous because they grew up reading about the “Banksia Men”. After much elaboration I found out the name of the book and had to get it for my grandchildren! It’s a wonderful series of stories written about 100 years ago. I highly recommend the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars "the complete adventures of snugglepot and cuddlepie"
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2012
Verified Purchase
I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered that this book was available - albeit second hand. I grew up with a volume of "Snugglepot and Cuddlepie" and I believe that eventually it actually wore out. To be able to buy this volume that is identical to the one I had, and although secondhand, it was in top condition. I had intended passing it on to a young member of the family,but I can't bear to part from it. It will have to be one of those books I take down and read to children visiting my home. What a wonderful service - to be able to access books that are not available in shops...and maybe books that you have left in the back of memories.

I ordered this for my mum who was actually the authoress' inspiration for the S&C babies so many years ago. That being said I was so happy to discover the book was still around and to find it in such great shape. Of course my mother was thrilled to receive it and can now share it with her grandchildren.

Remember this book from my days in Australia. Have bought many as gifts both in Australia and here in USA. Extremely well written with great illustrations and a cute story. And...who doesn't love cute exotic Australian animals! I bought a copy for myself as well.

This book holds such memories. My daughter's father brought it back from a business trip to Australia as a souvenir for her. She and I would sit in the afternoons and I would read it to her. When she passed I found in a journal that this was one of her fondest childhood memories. The original book disappeared over the years. I had to have it and am rereading in her memory.
