Judith's writing
I've been writing about children's literature, education, and other topics for well over thirty years. These days I publish my new work (uncomissioned) on my Substack, "The House of Misrule" (named for the house in Seven Little Australians). My archive of previously published work is on this website, and will be added to over time. Check out the links below to read my past pieces.
