Episode 56: Writing Royalty

In this episode, we meet not one but THREE members of Australia's writing royalty. Think awards, accolades, movie adaptations, gazillions of book sales, and even appearing on a postage stamp! We chat to Wendy Orr, author of thrilling bronze age novels including new release The Cuckoo's Flight. Hear more about these plus her smash hit Nim's Island, adapted to a Hollywood movie. Also on the show is current Australian Children's Laureate Ursula Dubosarsky, accomplished author of many award-winning novels for kids and picture books too, with a brand new release illustrated by Tohby Riddle, The March of the Ants. And we also meet Alison Lester, a mainstay of the kidlit scene for several generations of kids, with her beloved books including The Magic Beach, Noni the Pony, her recent collaboration with Jane Godwin, Sing Me the Summer, and loads more. Hear more about her novel The Quicksand Pony, just re-released to celebrate one million book sales with Allen and Unwin. Delve into the writing (and illustrating) life of these three wonderful women, our very own writing royalty!
