Autorenporträt
Briar Rose Middleditch is the pen name used by New Zealand writer, illustrator, and performer, Briar Fraser. Born in Dunedin in 1954, Briar now lives in her very own beach house in New Brighton, a small seaside community near Christchurch, New Zealand. The Wandering Washtub was first imagined more than 20 years ago when Fraser directed a local puppet theatre, the Flying Hat Company. The troupe of performers toured schools, festivals, and other events around the country along with friends the Natural Magic Pirates, who wrote and performed the Nancy Nutmeg Songs, which accompanied the original version of this text. Together, the Flying Hat Company toured the country with a painted trailer full of shadow puppets, rod puppets and even giant human-sized puppets, including two ginormous moas (large extinct flightless birds). >That is, until her nephew, who grew up on puppet shows performed by the Flying Hat Company, encouraged her to write more of the Nancy Nutmeg series so that other children could enjoy her adventures, just as he had done. Five years on, the sails of the Wandering Washtub are unfurled, with the re-release of the Wandering Washtub, in the hopes it will set sail in the world of online book orders for a future generation of dreamers and adventurers.
