Betty Gilderdale Tribute. 24 July 2021 Hello, I'm Rosemary Tisdall 1 Betty Gilderdale tribute. 24 July 2021 Hello, I’m Rosemary Tisdall, Storylines member and Trustee, and children’s literature enthusiast & specialist. The focus of my tribute today will be the children’s literature aspect of Betty’s life. I couldn’t come and talk about Betty without having some books in my arms. Don’t worry, I’m not going to read them all aloud. Although, I’m sure Betty wouldn’t mind us having some discussions about them. (each book mentioned in the tribute below to hold up at the appropriate time). The influence of Betty in the children’s literature world in New Zealand is far reaching, and her work and dedication may have had impact beyond what many realise or appreciate. If you say the name, Betty Gilderdale, most people will say The Little Yellow Digger. And certainly, this book has had enormous success, making Betty (and Alan) a household name across the country, if not the world. But she is far more than the mother of that cute little yellow machine. Between 1969 and 1981 Betty taught at the North Shore Teachers’ College, not long after her arrival in New Zealand. At least two very important things happened here that had a huge influence on children’s literature in this country, Betty was on the foundation committee (and later became President and Life Member) of the newly established Children’s Literature Association – CLA – along with Dorothy Butler, Ronda Armitage and others. They went on to host events and meetings to which no fewer than 100 people turned up each time. CLA also offered a platform for overseas speakers such as children’s publisher Kaye Webb from Puffin books, and authors such as Joan Aitken and Madeleine L’Engle. This organisation flourishes today, over 50 years later, under the name Storylines. The second major factor through Betty’s time at North Shore Teachers’ College was when Tom Fitzgibbon, Head of Department, challenged Betty that her lectures featured English and American books only; what about New Zealand authors? Betty realised there was very little available. On learning there was a collection of New Zealand books for children in the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington, she began making regular visits, as she was keen to add this knowledge to her teaching. There, she steadily read over 800 books that had been written by New Zealand authors and published for children between 1833 and 1978. She particularly enjoyed the work of Esther Glen, Mona Tracy, Isabel Maud Peacocke and Joyce West. This expansive reading provided her with the knowledge to write A Sea Change: 145 years of New Zealand Junior Fiction. Published in 1982, this book did much to establish writing for young people as an important and successful genre within the New Zealand literary landscape. It subsequently won the PEN Award for best first book of prose. University of Auckland’s, Professor Terry Sturm, saw its merits and commissioned her to write the children’s literature section for The Oxford History of New Zealand Literature. Many other works also featured Betty’s essays and critical reviews. Betty said: “When I started full-time teaching, I made sure that I read aloud to my classes, both primary and secondary, to encourage them to become readers. I also discovered what very good books were available for children and I enjoyed The Hobbit, or books by authors 2 like Susan Cooper, Rosemary Sutcliff and Leon Garfield as much as my classes did. C.S. Lewis was absolutely right when he said, ‘If a book’s no good when you’re fifty, it’s no good when you’re ten’. A good book is a good book for all ages.” She went on to say, “So, one of my missions in life has been to try to bring good books into children’s lives. It is a mission which has led to meeting authors and writing about them. That has been tremendous fun, especially the week spent with Margaret Mahy when writing her biography. She and many other New Zealand authors have contributed to making New Zealand literature for children some of the best in the world.” This biography, Introducing Margaret Mahy, published in 1987, won the White Raven Award from the International Youth Library of Munich. On republication, it was named Magical Margaret Mahy. In Beneath Southern Skies by Tom Fitzgibbon and Barbara Spiers, in reference to the Kotare series which Betty edited, she reiterated: “I feel it is vitally important for New Zealand children to have a literature that is kept in print – if they never know how ideas change yet people remain recognisably the same, how are they ever to get any feeling of historical perspective?” Thanks to Hodder and Stoughton, many books by those authors mentioned earlier, as well as Ron Bacon and Eve Sutton, were republished. In the mid 1980s, Betty secured part-time work lecturing on children’s literature at the Continuing Education Department of the Auckland University, as well as on a broad range of historical subjects. She was still reviewing children’s books for The New Zealand Herald in her own regular column, which she did for over 20 years. This work allowed Betty to see books as they were published and to keep up-to-date with trends in writing for children. She kept the review books as she wanted to easily refer to them; of course, they were enjoyed by her children, and subsequently her grandchildren. She also searched second hand bookshops for early New Zealand stories for children, so was developing quite a collection. In 2000, she donated all 1200 books. It is known as the Gilderdale Collection and is housed in the Special Collections in the General Library on the University of Auckland’s city campus. As a mark of respect, Special Collections will be mounting a display of a few items from her collection in the Reading Room display case during August. Children were always Betty’s focus, promoting good literature. She felt that television should have worthy programmes for them too. With others, she formed Children’s Media Watch, which lasted 15 years; it subsequently merged with Media Matters. In 1990, she compiled the short story collection Under the Rainbow: A Treasury of New Zealand Children's Stories. Her passion for New Zealand children to know more about New Zealand authors, resulted in the book Introducing 21 Children’s Writers, in 1991, after visiting and interviewing a growing number of local authors. I know The Little Yellow Digger series has been discussed already, but I can’t talk about Betty’s children’s literature world, without commenting on its impact. The series has sold more than 800,000 copies, and of course the original Little Yellow Digger title makes up, by far, the bulk of those sales. It appears frequently in the bestseller lists.’m sure it’s no coincidence that The Little Yellow Digger has shown up TWICE on last week’s bestsellers list, the board book and paperback versions. 3 All are based on true events so Betty, as a non-fiction writer, saw these still fitting that genre… The Little Yellow Digger won the Storylines Gaelyn Gordon Award for a Much-Loved Book in 2003, and the New Zealand Booksellers Platinum Award in 2004. Huia Publishers added Te Mīhini Iti Kōwhai to their oeuvre of classic stories retold in Māori in 2013. And most important of all, of course, is that my 18-month-old grandson now can say the word “stuck” and uses it in appropriate situations. In 1994, Betty received the Storylines Margaret Mahy Medal Award, New Zealand’s most prestigious honour for children’s authors. Betty was very interested in Lady Barker, an early Canterbury colonist, and writer of Station Life in New Zealand. After intense research, the biography, The Seven Lives of Lady Barker, was published in 1996. In 2012, her memoir, My Life in Two Halves was published. Betty received the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2014 for her services to children's literature. For the Storylines family, a very special award is the one she received back in 1999. It was the Distinguished Service Award from the Children’s Book Foundation, which Children’s Literature Association was about to merge with (to become Storylines). She asked at the next committee meeting what the award would now be called (and wondered how she’d managed to miss the one meeting where we’d voted on her being the recipient). The committee took great delight in telling her it was to be known as the Storylines Betty Gilderdale Award. She was overcome. This award would be given every year to someone for outstanding service to children’s literature and literacy, for no personal gain. There are a few recipients of this award from over the years, here today, and as one of them, I feel certain they will be feeling just as I am, proud, so proud, to have received this award in Betty’s name. The award comes with a monetary prize and a certificate. My talented son-in-law made this for me which sits in pride of place on my desk at home (a ‘trophy’ of a little yellow digger mounted on a wooden plinth, with an inscription). Betty is a lady I have always admired, revered and respected from my very first meeting with her when I joined the CLA committee. She was knowledgeable and a stickler for doing things right, which is one of my values. Book Chats at her home were something that many of us remember fondly – her delight and excitement in discovering new books we’d brought along that she hadn’t seen, particularly showing Alan any picture books.

  • Thirty Years of New Zealand's Children's Literature (1970-1999)
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 447 491 CS 217 287 AUTHOR Mills, Wayne F. TITLE Thirty Years of New Zealand's Children's Literature (1970-1999). PUB DATE 2000-07-00 NOTE 12p.; Paper presented at the International Reading Association World Congress on Reading (18th, Auckland, New Zealand, July 11-14, 2000). PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Childrens Literature; Elementary Secondary Education; Foreign Countries; *Literary History; Publishing Industry IDENTIFIERS Book Awards; Literary Awards; *New Zealand; *New Zealand Literature ABSTRACT In 1970 New Zealand had a small output of just 15 titles in children's literature. But much has happened over the last 30 years to ensure that New Zealand literature for children has an established footing: authors known and unknown have been encouraged to write, and publishers have been encouraged to seek the highest production standards. This paper explores some of the significant developments in children's literature in New Zealand. The paper first considers the establishment and conferment of various children's book awards. It then discusses organizations such as the Children's Literature Association, founded in 1969 with the express aim of promoting the best books for children, and the New Zealand Children's Book Foundation, which began in 1990 and has grown and expanded to promote its national ideal of literacy and good literature. The paper also discusses the annual Storyline Festival and the Writers in School Scheme, designed to allow both primary and secondary schools the opportunity of having New Zealand authors. It considers children's books in different genres during the 1980s ("a time of growth") and the 1990s (an average of 101 titles a year).

  • Keynote Speech - Storylines National Children’S Writers and Illustrators’ Hui, 6 October 2017
    Keynote speech - Storylines National Children’s Writers and Illustrators’ Hui, 6 October 2017 The rise and rise of New Zealand children’s publishing Tessa Duder Once upon a time – about 1978 - a young mother of four was struck in the middle of the night with an idea for a children’s novel. A sailing adventure! A family in peril! Would they survive the night?! This was very odd: she’d never written a word of fiction in her life. Sometime during the four years it took to write the story and get it published, she cut out the cartoon below from the Listener and filed it away. (Elderly man to non-so-young woman at cocktail party: And what are you falling back on to writing children’s books from?) Miraculously, 35 years and about 50 books later, she was able to find it in a musty box file. We may laugh at the sub-text of that remark, but actually ‘falling back onto children’s books’ from success as adult writers has some noble exemplars: Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde, Ian Fleming, A.A. Milne. Our own Janet Frame, Joy Cowley, William Taylor, Kate De Goldi, Graeme Lay, Barbara Else. Though it’s more often the reverse: highly skilled children’s writers ‘falling back’ onto writing for adults: think Mandy Hagar, Gaelyn Gordon, David Hill, Bernard Beckett, Fleur Beale, Roald Dahl, John Marsden, J.K. Rowling. The long path to success of Under the Mountain To consider one such fallen angel of the ‘falling back on to children’s’ variety, let’s recall the New Zealand of 1974.

  • Learning to Swim in the Deep
    Learning to Swim in the Deep by Tessa Duder The text of the lecture delivered by Tessa Duder on being presented with The Margaret Mahy Award 1996 by the New Zealand Children's Book Foundation. One night last November, I was sitting in a small, hot room at the Auckland College of Education. On the agenda of the Children's Book Foundation monthly meeting was the Margaret Mahy Award. I knew only that nominations had closed and a small sub-committee had been convened. Who had been nominated, how many and by whom had been kept under wraps. I didn't know that Joan Brockett had been authorised to tell the meeting the results of their deliberations. This year it was again a writer. Well, the finest surprises are those that come totally out of the blue. As Joan talked in general terms about the achievements of 'the writer' I began to shift uncomfortably in my chair, my mind making close-to-home connections whilst simultaneously racing as to who else she might be talking about. Two others flashed through my mind; that fits, no, that doesn't, that doesn't either, oh God... Up to that point Joan, and all the CBF management committee had been absolute souls of discretion. The moment of hearing I was indeed 'the writer' will remain one of the most precious of my career, and I must express my deep gratitude to my colleagues and to the children's literature community 1996 NZCBF Yearbook Tessa Duder Learning to Swim in the Deep 35 I am proud to be part of.

  • 1 a Tour of My Bookshelves Address by Crissi Blair Storylines Betty
    A Tour of my Bookshelves Address by Crissi Blair Storylines Betty Gilderdale Award 2019, 2 November 2019 Tēnā koutou katoa. E te whānau, nau mai, haere mai ki tēnei whakanuitanga (Family, thank you and welcome to this celebration). Welcome to you all. Thank you for coming today. Thank you to my Storylines family who have been kind enough to choose me as recipient for this award, and to Betty Gilderdale. It is indeed an honour to receive this award in your name, and to have you here today. Thanks also to my amazing family who are here today, especially my mum who has travelled up from Taupo for the occasion, my son Angus, and daughter Lizzie whose lives have been filled with the books I’ll talk about today, and my ever-supportive husband Neil, who puts up with our home being held up by books in ever-increasing piles. Today I want to take a tour of my bookshelves, and the stories connected to the books that live there. I know I was a reader as a child, but I don’t remember a lot of the detail of exactly what I read – pretty much whatever I could get my hands on I think! When I was six, I got the best-ever Christmas present – a big stack of books, and I think I still have them all. There was a book of Uncle Remus Stories, Winnie the Pooh and a big book called Caroline and her Friends – a little girl and her dressed-up animal friends who took the reader to different places around the world, which gave me my first idea of what other places in the world might be like.

  • Janet Frame Lecture 2011
    JANET FRAME LECTURE 2011 Warm Greetings: In this, the 2011 Janet Frame lecture, I wish to talk about the short but astonishingly successful history of children’s literature in this country; but before I do that, I’d like to thank the New Zealand Society of Authors for their generosity. As you may know, the Janet Frame lecture, is delivered by the Honorary President of the Society. I assure you I have done nothing to earn this title apart from being one of the oldest members of the NZSA. In the 1960s, we were part of the global PEN and we are still affiliated with PEN; and I was nominated for membership by Monte Holcroft, editor of the NZ Listener, on the strength of two short stories. The account of my first PEN meeting is recorded in the memoir Navigation, but I’ll mention it again here. I was a somewhat shy young woman, a farmers wife with four small children, and Mr Holcroft had said I should attend the December PEN meeting. I went by train from Palmerston North to Wellington, found The Terrace and the venue in Wakefield House, and hesitantly walked in. The room was full of voices and tobacco smoke, with most people around a bar at the other end. Mr Holcroft was not there. I knew no one and no one knew me. I stood in the middle of the room for perhaps a minute, feeling like a goldfish that had jumped her bowl, then decided to go back to the railway station and wait for a train home.
