NZ & Australian
Writers Judith Ridge - editor The Book that Made Me Walker Books 2016 $22.99pb 253pp ISBN 978 1 9222 4488 8 Themes: Writing lives
32 New Zealand and
Australia writers including Mandy Hager, Bernard Beckett, Ted Dawe, Shaun Tan, Cath
Crowley and Catherine Mayo give insights into the books that hooked them as
children and young adults as well as sharing parts of their writing lives. This
is totally engaging and fascinating material and has been meticulously collated
with supporting lists of the books mentioned and writers’ backgrounds. I think
this may have been available for a couple of months but I have only just
received it. Once read it is a bedside table book (well for me anyway)
