Description
Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge lives next door to a nursing home. When he finds out that his special friend, Nancy Alison Delacourt Cooper is losing her memory, he sets out to find what a memory is. Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge was the second collaboration for Mem Fox and Julie Vivas, the author and illustrator of Possum Magic. First published in 1984, it was similarly an instant success and later translated into several languages. Its classic themes and beautiful artwork have also seen it adapted to the stage as a play for children, but its enduring appeal is in the simple words of a story thoughtfully told, illustrated with humour and understanding.
