Description:
Sun on the Stubble is a much-loved Australian classic by Colin Thiele, telling the humorous and heart warming story of Bruno Gunther, a boy growing up in a German-Australian farming family in rural South Australia during the 1930s. This 1986 edition captures the charm, mischief, and cultural richness of country life, written with Thiele’s signature warmth and gentle wit.

A staple in Australian classrooms and the basis for a 1990s television adaptation, the story blends coming-of-age themes with a nostalgic look at family, tradition, and life on the land.

Why You'll Love It:
Perfect for readers of all ages, this novel is filled with humour, affection, and insight into a vanished way of life. An essential piece of Australian literary heritage, especially for fans of rural stories and 20th-century children’s fiction.
