Mem Fox AM is a national ‘treasure’. Her stories have delighted families for decades. You might be familiar with the international bestseller Possum Magic. Mem’s book Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge is my favourite. I am not alone. Mem says that Wilfrid Gordon is the book adults love the most. It’s special in a Time & Space context because, our hero, Wilfrid Gordon, ‘a small boy who wasn’t very old either’, looks for ‘memories’ for his friend Miss Nancy in the old people’s home next door.
