One of the interesting places in Canberra for children's writers (and students and readers too) is the
Lu Rees Archives, which are in the University of Canberra Library building. Among other things, the Archives holds drafts of manuscripts and illustrations, as well as books of historical interest.
These are all books by
Ethel Turner, who wrote, among other books,
Seven Little Australians. It's now considered an Australian children's classic.
And this is
Margaret Wild, who donated many of her papers to the Archives last week. Here, she is standing in front of a display of her picture book,
Fox, illustrated by Ron Brooks. It's one of my favourite books, and has won many awards.
