the continuing adventures

This is my first attempt to do something that has "nibbled" at me for many years. When I was just a toddler, I received a gift from Australia, "The Complete Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie". It was sent to me from a family who befriended my father when he served in the Army Air Corps in World War II. I was completely fascinated with the book, as it was comparable to the fairytales American children are familiar with. except in Australia, the characters are all woodland plants and animals.
