Morris Gleitzman grew up in England and came to Australia when he was sixteen. After university he worked for ten years as a screenwriter. Then he had a wonderful experience. He wrote a novel for young people. Now, after 42 books, he’s one of Australia’s most popular authors. He was appointed the Australian Children’s Laureate for 2018–2019.
Ahead of the release of 'Always', Sarah sat down with Morris to discuss debunking misconceptions about elderly people, finding the right space to tell this last story, crafting a long awaited story for himself, and more.
