![]() ![]() In a way, I’m terribly sad that I didn’t read this as a child. It’s such an adored book, that I wanted to make sure I really ‘had’ it before I wrote about it. ![]() I actually read Playing Beatie Bow twice before writing this review. But so many people I know have read and loved it, so I knew it needed to be part of my ‘Children Classics’ Australian Women Writer’s challenge. I think it probably had something to do with the cover – the ones which were most common when I was little were seriously creepy, and looked very very different from the kinds of books I usually read. (1980, Penguin Classics – originally published by Thomas Nelson)ĭespite being a massive book worm as a child, I never read Playing Beatie Bow. ![]() This year I am reading and rereading children and young adult ‘classics’ written by Australian women. ![]()
