Margaret Mahy: A Tall Long Faced Tale

For decades, author Margaret Mahy has delighted readers both here and around the world with her enchanting stories. Now, with assistance from fellow writer Elizabeth Knox, and thanks to the animated antics and questions from some of Margaret's very own characters such as The Lion from "The Lion in the Meadow", we get to see the real Margaret Mahy as well as begin to understand what made this beloved nationwide treasure tick.
