A Perfect Gentle Knight with Kit Pearson

The Roundtable is proud to present A Perfect Gentle Knight with award winning author Kit Pearson. As one of Canada's most accomplished writers for young people, Kit says "I think I have the best job in the world." And who could argue. Kit has been sharing the stories and characters she creates since her first book was published in 1986. Curiosity and a love of story are the creative sparks that ignite Pearson's fiction. If you're curious about her creative process or if you are looking for a perfect way to spend an evening, join us on February 11 at 7:30 at the Spectrum Community School library.

January 14th with author Linda Bailey

Do plan to attend our first program of 2008 on January 14th when we will be welcoming author Linda Bailey. The program will begin at 7:30, but be sure to come early to browse the book table provided by Cadboro Bay Books.

The author of more than twenty books, Linda was born and grew up in Winnipeg. She traveled around the world, worked in England and Australia, and fortunately for us, settled in Vancouver where she earned a B.A. and an M.Ed. at the University of British Columbia. Linda describes herself as "an ex-college teacher, an ex-editor, an ex-travel agent."

Currently, she is the much loved author of the Stanley picture books (illustrated by Bill Slavin) as well as the Stevie Diamond mystery series, the Good Times Travel Agency books and more. Many of her books have now traveled around the world — just like her. Linda plans to share her passion for story structure and her keen interest in character archetypes, especially as they relate to her stories.
