KATE DE GOLDI: STORY INVENTIONS (2016)

Auckland Writers Festival Schools Programme 2017
Proudly supported by Freemasons Foundation

Kate De Goldi is a master storyteller whose work beautifully cartwheels ‘stories within stories within stories’ and who has a deep understanding of the canon of children’s literature. Kate speaks about the essential place of story, inspired by her latest book From the Cutting Room Floor of Barney Kettle whose eponymous lead is a larger than life 13 year old film obsessive, a character who likes making up stories but then finds one right under his nose.
