Genre


I was born in 1975 on the Isle of Man and spent my childhood there, in Sudan, in Papua New Guinea and in Australia. I did lots of my daydreaming in planes, trains and boats including one boat that my dad made with a glass base so my little sister and I could see fish and coral going past underneath us. For a little while I had a mouse and the best present my mum and dad ever gave me (apart from my sister) was my own piano.

My favourite books were The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame and the Ramona stories by Beverly Cleary. Though I love returning to those stories (especially Wind in the Willows) these days my favourites are anything by bell hooks or Alain de Botton.

I live in Melbourne near a river, write books for children, make dolls

Quotes by Anna Branford  (?)

“Black!” says the man on the CD. “Nwaaaaaar,” says Mama. “Nwaaaaaar,” says Vincent, who now seems to smile all the time. After dinner, while Mama and Nicola and Dylan are busy clearing away plates and putting sprinkles on ice cream for dessert, Vincent takes something out of his pocket and gives it to Violet. It is wrapped in soft purple tissue paper. “What is it?” asks Violet. “A present,” says Vincent. Violet carefully unwraps the purple tissue. Then, even more carefully, she unwraps the scruffy newspaper underneath. And after that, Violet smiles the nicest smile of all.”
Anna Branford, Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot
