HUSQVARNA CHAINSAW DEALERSHIP BOSTITCH NAILERS • EMGLO COMPRESSORS 10 % OFF ALL OTHER REGULAR PRICED STOCK "DON'T GO MENTAL, COME TO NEWCASTLE RENTAL" I had the privilege of interviewing interviewing tne author Ian Wallace during his stay at our school last week. I asked him about specific things in his illustrations and his stories. stories. I was interested in his reason for putting the year 1954 on the moon in his book "Architect of the Moon". He said that he would have been four at that time and the boy in the story story was too. In the same book he showed the passage of time by having a calendar in the boy's room and at the end of the story he makes us see that the story actually cook place over 15 days. This time period would be the length of time for the moon to go .through a cycle. In' his Chin Chiang and ■the Dragon's Dance, the boy was supposed to be the dragon's dragon's tail in a parade but he ran away. Through the words ana pictures in the story, Mr. Wallace was able to show that no matter where the boy went his fears were right behind him. Mr. Wallace says that he really enjoys writing which he has been doing since 1974. He discovered nis talent talent for drawing when he was 8. In his free time he likes to go to the movies, ride a bike, play tennis or eat. Would you believe that it can take as long as three years to write a book? We were all impressed with Mr. Wallace and really enjoyed his performance. by Jeremy Oliver.
