The Literature Centre Workshop : Jandamarra
Advertisement
I have arranged a series of workshops at The Literature Centre. the first one is JANDAMARRA
This workshop is for students in Years 4-10
"He emerged from the cave of bats with the name given to him by his people. He was Jandamarra - a man of power who could appear and disappear like a ghost.”
Set in the Kimberley, Jandamarra is the story of a young warrior born to lead. To the settlers he was an outlaw to be hunted, to the Bunuba people he was a courageous defender of his country.
Mark Greenwood’s text and Terry Denton’s illustrations combine to bring to life a story of conflict and divided loyalties, giving a unique insight into an extraordinary man and a tragic but important part of Australia’s history.
