Betty Gilderdale lived the first half of her life in England and the second, in New Zealand. This book follows her early childhood in London, the war years, university study, professional life, marriage and children, through to making a new life in New Zealand when she and her husband Alan and their three children moved here in 1967. It was here that she pursued her interest in teaching, and in 1982 published her ground-breaking work "A sea change : 145 years of New Zealand junior fiction: Her story describes a rich and full life of diverse experiences peopled with teaching colleagues, writers, friends and, most importantly, family.

Betty Gilderdale's contribution to New Zealand has been significant. From her 1982 book 'A Sea Change: 145 Years of New Zealand Junior Fiction' to her much loved Little Yellow Digger series.
I thought this story was wonderfully told and most enjoyable. I gave it to my mother-in-law to read as her story has parallels with Betty. She was an evacuee in Hull during World War II and then emigrated with her husband aboard the 'SS Captain Hobson' in 1953 to start a new life in New Zealand. Highly recommended. ( )
