Australia Stamp, 2018 Childrens Bush S/S

The Children’s Bush Classics minisheet consists of the two stamps from the issue incorporated into a miniature stamp sheet.

Two iconic Australian children’s novels are celebrating their centenary in 2018: The Magic Pudding, by Norman Lindsay (1879–1969), and the first of the Snugglepot and Cuddlepie series, Tales of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie: Their Adventures Wonderful, by May Gibbs (1877–1969). The Australian bush infuses the colourful characters and lively illustrations of these much-loved stories, neither of which has been out of print.
