Buzz Words reader, Libby Hathorn, has a new
book published by Lothian.
Inspired by events in Miles Franklin's life, Miss
Franklin is told by multi-award-winning author Libby Hathorn and acclaimed
illustrator Phil Lesnie and includes a facts page about Stella Miles Franklin.
It was launched at the State Library last month.
This is a story about iconic Australian writer Stella
Miles Franklin, namesake of two major literary prizes, during her brief but
formative time as a governess in rural New South Wales. Teenager Stella Miles
Franklin must work to help support her family. Stella longs for the freedom and
excitement of city life. While working, she meets a young orphan girl, Imp, who
is almost as feisty as Stella herself, and who spurs the older girl to follow
her dreams.
