Once the top of a Burrawang tree fell to the ground … and the grassy top began to change.

It became Grug.

This classic Aussie hero is back from the bush to enchant a new generation of youngsters!

His first story was published in 1979 and Ted went on to write 34 more stories featuring Grug and his adventures with his other bush friends, Cara and Snoot.
