Australia Illustration Desmond Digby

Bottersnikes and Gumbles, the much-loved 1988 Australian picture book by S.A. Wakefield, pits lazy, crumbly Bottersnikes against the cheerful, stretchy Gumbles in 79 pages of mischief perfect for young-adult and adult collectors of vintage fantasy humour.

This illustrated paperback shows gentle signs of age: a name on the front cover and inner page, one dog-eared corner, light foxing to the closed edges, yet the binding remains tight and pages are otherwise clean from a smoke-free home.

A previous owner has inscribed a neat gift note inside, adding character without claiming author signature. Collins’ 1980s edition captures Desmond Digby’s classic artwork in bright, story-time-ready form.

Ideal for bedtime reading, Aussie-culture shelves, or anyone hunting a nostalgic adventure infused with Down-Under charm.
