作者简介

澳大利亚著名作家。

‘Morris Gleitzman has discovered the difficult trick of changing reality so that poignancy and laughter are never far apart.’                                                                                      

The Australian

 

Morris Gleitzman began his writing career as a screenwriter and wrote his first children’s novel in 1985.  His brilliantly comic style has endeared him to children and adults alike, and he is now one of Australia’s most successful authors, both internationally and at home.  He was born in England in 1953 and emigrated to Australia in 1969 so he could escape from school and become a Very Famous Writer!

 

But before realising that dream, he worked on a colourful career as paperboy, bottle-shop shelf-stacker, department-store Santa Claus, frozen-chicken-defroster, fashion-design assistant and sugar-mill employee.  In between he managed to gain a degree in Professional Writing at the Canberra College of Advanced Education.  Later he became sole writer for three award-winning and top-rating seasons with the TV comedy series The Norman Gunston Show.

 

Morris has written a number of feature film and telemovie screenplays, including The Other Facts of Life and Second Childhood, both produced by The Australian Children’s Television Foundation. The Other Facts of Life also won the 1985 AWGIE Award for the Best Original Children’s Film Script.  He has also written live stage material for people such as Rolf Harris, Pamela Stephenson and the Governor General of Australia.  Morris is well known to many people for his columns in the Age and the Sydney Morning Herald and they regularly enjoy his semi-autobiographical columns in the Good Weekend supplement.  Collections of his columns have also been published by Pan Macmillan in Just Looking and Gleitzman on Saturday.

Milton Caniff ( 1907-1988),著名漫画家,是Reuben Awards第一届获奖者。他笔下的经典漫画人物是Steve Canyon

 

(获得Reuben Awards是职业漫画家的最高荣誉.

 

Caniff earned worldwide acclaim at the helm of Terry and the Pirates in the '30s and  '40s. But eventually, he rebelled against his syndicate's editorial oversight and ownership of copyright to his work. Leveraging his global reputation, Caniff launched Canyon in 1947 under his own copyright and syndicated it himself. It was an instant success which ran continuously in syndication for 40 years, ending only upon Caniff's death in 1988.
