Margaret Wild Introduces her New Picturebook, Tanglewood. - Updated 9:52 PM 19/02/2012

Margaret Wild Introduces
Tanglewood
!
Teachers and interested readers are invited to a champagne afternoon tea to meet one of Australia’s best writers, Margaret Wild. She will be introducing her amazing new work,
Tanglewood.
When Thursday Afternoon March 29th ,
4-30-5-30pm
On a small island far away from anywhere is a tree named Tanglewood. All alone
with no one for company, Tanglewood calls to the creatures of the sea but none
answer. One day a storm brings a seagull seeking shelter and a friendship between
the two begins. But now that Tanglewood has experienced companionship, the
tree’s loneliness is greater than ever when the seagull leaves. This is a lovely story
about the trials of solitude and the importance of friends and family, with
wonderfully emotive illustrations.
(Teachers’ Notes available on the day.)
