Über den Autor

Betty Gilderdale grew up in London and moved to New Zealand. It was here that she pursued her interest in teaching, and in 1982, published her ground-breaking work, A Sea Change: 145 Years of New Zealand Junior Fiction. Her story describes a rich life of diverse experiences, colleagues, writers, mehr anzeigen friends and family. Betty has written and contributed to numerous local and international publications, including the biographies of Lady Barker (author of Station Life in New Zealand) and Margaret Mahy, and for twenty years she had a review column in the New Zealand Herald. She is perhaps best known in New Zealand as author, with Alan Gilderdale, of the best-selling Little Yellow Digger series and for many years has been a passionate advocate for wonderful stories for New Zealand children. This fact was appropriately recognised when the Children's Literature Association renamed their Award for Services to Children's Literature, The Betty Gilderdale Award.

Rezensionen

Betty Gilderdale: My Life in Two Halves von Betty Gilderdale

The title of Betty Gilderdale's memoir accurately reflects her life which has been lived in two halves. The first half is her younger years growing up in London and experiencing World War II, university study, marriage and children. The second half of her life was emigrating to New Zealand in 1967 with her husband Alan and three children and her teaching, researching and writing career.

Betty Gilderdale's contribution to New Zealand has been significant. From her 1982 book 'A Sea Change: 145 Years of New Zealand Junior Fiction' to her much loved Little Yellow Digger series.

I thought this story was wonderfully told and most enjoyable. I gave it to my mother-in-law to read as her story has parallels with Betty. She was an evacuee in Hull during World War II and then emigrated with her husband aboard the 'SS Captain Hobson' in 1953 to start a new life in New Zealand. Highly recommended.… (mehr)
