🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Kathleen Jennings
Growing up she learned far more about American and European legends than she did Australian ones, it was a long time before she learned too much about the real history of the area that she knew the best. So “Flyaway” comes from this experience, the overlay of introduced stories, which can be just as beautiful and destructive as any introduced species. However it’s also about learning to read the Australian landscape through the lens of such stories, taking all of her visual fairy tale vocabulary from the grass, trees, and flowers that she knew. And always getting rather puzzled and hurt when she’d read Australian books which seemed to believe the landscape of Australia was hideous and horrifying, apart from some things that happen in them.
