Two seafarers

Dis­cover this pirate at Pen­guin Books

While Rose’s ship the Uranie waits at anchor in Fre­man­tle har­bour Black Jack Ander­son has made a sur­prise return. He appeared on the hori­zon this week in the form of a con­tact from jour­nal­ist Angela Pow­nall who is writ­ing an arti­cle for the West Aus­tralian about our most noto­ri­ous pirate.

Later this week the Perth Writer’s Fes­ti­val comes to town with lots of inter­est­ing events and dis­plays. Don’t miss the very pop­u­lar Free Fam­ily Fun Day next Sun­day at the Uni­ver­sity of West­ern Aus­tralia. Many of your favourite WA authors and illus­tra­tors will be there and they have some great activ­i­ties for you to get involved in. I will be launch­ing Baby Ani­mal Farm by Karen Blair at 10.30am and you will be able to get up close and per­sonal with some real baby animals.

Watch out for pirates and explor­ers though. You just never know when or where they will pop up next.
