On Wednesday, 14th of March, Kate Forsyth and Lorena Carrington will be visiting St Luke's Grammar School for a special workshop with Years 5 and 6 Bayview students.
Kate Forsyth wrote her first novel at the age of seven, and is now the internationally bestselling, award-winning author of 30 books for both adults & children. She was recently voted one of Australia's Favourite 25 Novelists, has completed a doctorate in fairy tales, and is an accredited master storyteller.
Retold by Kate Forsyth and illustrated by photographic artist Lorena Carrington, Vasilisa the Wise & Other Tales of Brave Young Women is a welcome antidote to the widespread perception that classic fairy-tales feature passive princesses waiting patiently for their prince. Drawing from both the oral and literary traditions, the book retells tales from Russia, Scotland, Norway, France, Germany and Great Britain. The stories were all chosen for the strength and courage of their female protagonists, and the beauty of their original lyrical style.
