ANDY Griffiths is a children’s writer who needs no introduction.
His books, from the JUST! Series, which have been published since the 1990s, to The Day My Bum Went Psycho trilogy, have captivated young readers – including this journalist – for more than a decade.
Yarra Valley residents have just a few days left to take a look at the writer’s inner workings by visiting the Andy Griffiths’ Secret Stuff exhibition at Healesville’s Memo Hall.
The exhibition features items and writings that inspired his best-selling children’s books, including his school notebook filled with notes and scrawlings that turned into his famous stories.
Griffiths’s first type-writer, the psycho bum itself, and items that featured in his stories, will all be on display at The Memo until this Sunday, 24 May.
The exhibition came about as part of the Stories Up High, Yarra Ranges Writers Festival, which hosted Griffiths at Sky High Mount Dandenong for a special talk and book signing on Sunday 17 May.
The writers’ festival events continue through to this weekend.
