Bronwyn Bancroft
Review
by Alexa Dretzke
Bursting with bold colour and line, Remembering Lionsville tells the story of Bronwyn Bancroft’s childhood visits to her grandfather’s home, interwoven with the history of her large family.
The oral storytelling that is integral to Australian Indigenous life is part of the author’s own rich background, and her respect and creativity make this journey back a joyous celebration. As she guides us around the old home, she reminisces about a childhood that embraced the rhythm of the outback and the freedom that came with it.
Sleeping under the stars, swimming in the creek, listening to her elders, imagining walking in their footsteps and always feeling safe: she paints a wonderful world in words and images. As she says in her afterword, ‘I have been preparing for this book all my life,’ and you understand she has put her heart and soul into it. This is inspired storytelling from a very successful artist and author.
For ages 4 and up.
