The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) is a non-profit organisation which represents an international network of people from all over the world committed to bringing books and children together. NEWSLETTER No 27 November, 2015 President’s Letter Dear members and supporters of IBBY Australia, 2016 will be our Golden Anniversary year—yes, fifty years since the foundation of IBBY Australia. And it is time to take stock. IBBY fulfils the unique role of showcasing Australia’s youth literature to the world. Our national section has faithfully maintained such core activities as celebrating International Children’s Book Day, selecting Honour Books, and nominating writers and illustrators for the Hans Christian Andersen Awards, the highest accolade in children’s literature. Australian members have participated in many international Congresses. IBBY began in Europe, but now is worldwide. We are increasing connections in our region, through regional Congresses and newsletters. We hope that Rhoda Myra Garces-Bacsal’s presentation, at our AGM in WA, is herald of more regional interaction. My personal hopes for the future of IBBY Australia include an increased commitment to the social justice aspects of its work, such as support for the vital IBBY Children in Crisis Fund. Another hope is to establish IBBY strongly in every state of Australia. There are hubs in WA and NSW, and supportive members throughout the country. Among those who bring their expertise to important IBBY tasks, the advisory panels for the 2016 Honour Book selections included Cathy Pusey (WA) and Cathie Tasker (NSW); and the panel which has begun reading entries for the 2016 Ena Noël Award includes Nella Pickup (Tas) and Bev Jacobson (WA). -

Relationships to the Bush in Nan Chauncy's Early Novels for Children
Relationships to the Bush in Nan Chauncy’s Early Novels for Children SUSAN SHERIDAN AND EMMA MAGUIRE Flinders University The 1950s marked an unprecedented development in Australian children’s literature, with the emergence of many new writers—mainly women, like Nan Chauncy, Joan Phipson, Patricia Wrightson, Eleanor Spence and Mavis Thorpe Clark, as well as Colin Thiele and Ivan Southall. Bush and rural settings were strong favourites in their novels, which often took the form of a generic mix of adventure story and the bildungsroman novel of individual development. The bush provided child characters with unique challenges, which would foster independence and strength of character. While some of these writers drew on the earlier pastoral tradition of the Billabong books,1 others characterised human relationships to the land in terms of nature conservation. In the early novels of Chauncy and Wrightson, the children’s relationship to the bush is one of attachment and respect for the environment and its plants and creatures. Indeed these novelists, in depicting human relationships to the land, employ something approaching the strong Indigenous sense of ‘country’: of belonging to, and responsibility for, a particular environment. Later, both Wrightson and Chauncy turned their attention to Aboriginal presence, and the meanings which Aboriginal culture—and the bloody history of colonial race relations— gives to the land. In their earliest novels, what is strikingly original is the way both writers use bush settings to raise questions about conservation of the natural environment, questions which were about to become highly political. In Australia, the nature conservation movement had begun in the late nineteenth century, and resulted in the establishment of the first national parks. -

The Development of Fantasy Illustration in Australian Children's Literature
The University of Tasmania "THE SHADOW LINE BETWEEN REALITY AND FANTASY": THE DEVELOPMENT OF FANTASY ILLUSTRATION IN AUSTRALIAN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Degree for Master of Education. Centre of Education by Irene Theresa Gray University of Tasmania December 1985. Acknowledgments I wish to thank the following persons for assistance in the presentation of this dissertation: - Mr. Hugo McCann, Centre for Education, University of Tasmania for his encouragement, time, assistance and critical readership of this document. Mr. Peter Johnston, librarian and colleague who kindly spent time in the word processing and typing stage. Finally my husband, Andrew whose encouragement and support ensured its completion. (i) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to show that accompanying a development of book production and printing techniques in Australia, there has been a development in fantasy illustration in Australian children's literature. This study has identified the period of Australian Children's Book Awards between 1945 - 1983 as its focus, because it encompassed the most prolific growth of fantasy-inspired, illustrated literature in Australia and • world-wide. The work of each illustrator selected for study either in storybook or picture book, is examined in the light of theatrical and artistic codes, illustrative traditions such as illusion and decoration, in terms of the relationships between text and illustration and the view of childhood and child readership. This study. has also used overseas literature as "benchmarks" for the criteria in examining these Australian works. This study shows that there has been a development in the way illustrators have dealt with the landscape, flora and fauna, people, Aboriginal mythology and the evocation and portrayal of Secondary Worlds. -
