Special delivery for local authorLast year, along with a number of other local authors, we introduced Donna Blaber and her Kiwi children’s books Piri’s Picnic, Keri’s Party, Bruce Goes Home and Sausage Sizzle incorporating her own special brand of Kiwi Critters.
Donna (pictured inset) sent her books as a typical Kiwi gift to the young Prince George even before the trip to New Zealand was announced. Recently, and out of the blue in her country mailbox, Donna received a special acknowledgement of the gift from none other than TRH the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and HRH Prince Henry of Wales themselves, bearing the Kensington Palace and Royal insignia’s and a Buckingham Palace postmark. Quite a talking point and quite something to treasure in years to come. “It was such a nice surprise,” said Donna. “I’m going to keep it in a special folder and when I turn 100 I’ll put the letter from the Queen with it.” By then it will probably be a letter from the King. Children’s book-lovers need to keep an eye out as Donna will have book number five coming out in a month or so. Check them out on www.lmg.co.nz. |
