by Ursula Dubosarsky

This is one of a series of entertaining, funny plays for children based on Ovid's "Metamorphoses", suitable for class performance or private reading, for young students of the classical world of literature. Each play involves a transformation and is written in conversational English, while keeping as much as possible to the dramatic and playful spirit of Ovid's original. These plays were first published in the NSW Department of Education's "School Magazine". More about the award-winning author can be found at www.ursuladubosarsky.com.

About the author

Ursula Dubosarsky is an award-winning author of numerous books for children and young adults. About The Golden Day, her first book with Candlewick Press, she says, "The little girls watch, wonder, respond, change, and grow — and then their childhood is gone, forever. This element of the story, I suppose, is at least partly autobiographical. But, as I say — all of our teachers come home safe and sound in the end." Ursula Dubosarsky lives in Australia.
