Between the pages

Author Mark Wilson.

An exciting new exhibition, Between the Pages, will launch at Dromkeen Homestead at Riddells Creek on November 12 featuring the illustrative work of four of Australia’s most loved, talented and highly acclaimed children’s picture-book creators. 

Leigh Hobbs, Ann James, Gabrielle Wang and Mark Wilson will collaborate for the first time to bring this beautiful exhibition to Dromkeen. All four picture-book creators will be present on the day to sign books and talk about their work. 

Senior editor from Windy Hollow Books, Cristina Pace, will also launch Mark Wilson’s brand new picture-book, Caroline, about the much-loved humanitarian worker Caroline Chisholm. Wilson’s book mainly tells about the part of her life where she worked with suffragists in South Australia who went on to become the first women in the world to be able to vote. 

Refreshments and a book signing to follow. 

Also on the day at 2pm, Wilson will do a Draw Our Wild Creatures drawing workshop for young people (or young at heart), which will top off the day beautifully. 

Between the Pages will launch Sunday, November 12, from 12.45pm – 3pm. RSVP for the opening and workshop to
