Snugglepot and Cuddlepie Go to the Races

Welcome to Sally's book-a-day-for-2017 blog. If unfamiliar with the blog, scroll down.

Snugglepot and Cuddlepie Go to the Races (1997) (Post 238)

Snugglepot and Cuddlepie Go to the Races is another of the thirteen May Gibbs retellings I did back in the 1990s. Again, I have little memory of the plot, but I do remember reading the originals, and making changes to bring the storyline and characters up to date with modern tastes. This one of only four of the thirteen stories I've been able to find evidence of publication. I may be able to find others, but it's not easy, as most searches lead me to pages that have May Gibbs titles alongside unrelated books of mine.

ABOUT THE BLOG

Sally is Sally Odgers; author, manuscript assessor, editor, anthologist and reader. She runs http://www.affordablemanuscriptassessments.com and Prints Charming Books. (Sally is me, by the way, and I am lots of other things too, but these are the relevant ones for now.)

The goal for 2017 is to write a post a day profiling the background behind one of my books; how it came to be written, what it's about, and any things of note that happened along the way. If you're an author, an aspiring author, a reader or just someone who enjoys windows into worlds, you might find this fun. The books are not in any special order, but will be assigned approximate dates, and pictures, where they exist. If you enjoyed a post, or want to ask about any of my books or my manuscript assessment service.
