Margaret Mahy is known throughout New Zealand as a brilliant and prolific children's writer - and for her brightly colored wig. One of our most internationally successful writers, she has a received a string of awards and honours including the Order of New Zealand and the AW Reed Award for contribution to literature. Less widely known but equally remarkable are Mahy's commentaries on fiction, writing and imagination. She has said 'other people's stories take me by surprise'. The sense of delight and careful attention which she brings to the writing of others has germinated many astute and fascinating talks and essays which are collected here for the first time.
