PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Robin Dalton was born in Sydney, and has lived in London since 1946. She has been a television performer, an intelligence agent, a literary agent and a film producer (Madame Souzatska starring Shirley Maclaine; Oscar and Lucinda starring Cate Blanchett), as well as an author. Her 1965 account of her childhood in Kings Cross, Aunts up the Cross remains an Australian classic. The previously unpublished My Relations will be released in 2015.
'Hysterically funny.' * Jennifer Byrne * ‘A hugely energetic gallop, nicely complemented by Dinah Dryhurst's spikey, spirited illustrations…[Dalton] lived a technicolour, quite glorious life, which you'll enjoy being diverted by.’ * New Zealand Herald * ‘A quirky and hilarious childhood memoir. I haven’t laughed so much in years.’ -- Tim Flannery * The Books We Loved 2016, Sydney Morning Herald *
