Welcome to Gumnut Entertainment–home of the books written by Ben Innes as children’s book author, I.B. Gumnut!
On the South Coast of New South Wales, where the bush meets the sea,

So, I put pen to paper, and I begin to write,
About the scenery and animals, so vivid and bright.
My goal when writing, there is only one,
To make someone smile and find reading fun.
My books are for the young and young at heart,
Find one that appeals and add it to the shopping cart!
Kindest Regards,
I.B. Gumnut
