BiographyHistory

Van Gendt contributed to the Bananas in Pyjamas series when the Australian Broadcasting Commission took up the original of Carey (Enid's nephew) Blyton's 1972 poem/song, and turned it into a spin-off children's TV series which has enjoyed international success. She has also illustrated many children's readers, including Jacaranda's Expressways, Reading Rigby, the ABC Play School Yellow Book activity series, and Catchwords with Alan Stomann.
