BiographyHistory

Writer Ronda Armitage has created picture books with her husband, David Armitage (a Tasmanian-born illustrator.) While the Armitages do not work in Australia, and set many of their works overseas, two of their books have been highly commended in the Australian Children's Book Council Awards. (See The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch (1977) and The Trouble with Mr Harris (1978) for further details.)
