I’m looking forward to coming to this year’s Rosalie Writers Festival to talk about my new book, Simpson and his Donkey.
It traces the boyhood friendship of John Simpson Kirkpatrick and Billy Lowes – from their home in England, where they walked donkeys for a penny a ride during summer holidays – to the battlefield of Gallipoli, where the ‘Anzac tradition’ was born.
Simpson’s story is one of courage, and mateship – those wonderful ideals that distinguish and unite all Australians. With Anzac Day coming up soon I hope lots of the students and parents and teachers will take the opportunity to attend a dawn service.
See you soon.
