Nance Donkin, AM, (1915–2008) was a pioneer and leading light in the world of Australian literature for children, especially historical fiction. Many people will fondly remember reading The Maidens of Pefka, Patchwork Grandmother, Johnny Neptune and Yellow Gum Gil; her retelling of We of the Never, Never for children; and the series of books about life in Australia, including Sheep and Sugar. While some of her books seem dated now, having been published over sixty years ago, Nance’s legacy endures.
Anna Ciddor has written and illustrated nearly 60 books, several of which have been CBCA Notable Books, shortlisted for numerous other awards, translated into other languages and sold around the world. Anna has also been the recipient of a 2-year grant from the Literature Board of the Australia Council.
