Magical Tales from French Camelot AGES: 7 plus AUTHOR: Born in Jakarta, Indonesia, of French parents, Sophie Masson came to Australia at the age of 5, after spending 4 years with her grandmother in France, due to illness striking when she was a baby in Indonesia. All her childhood, the family moved back and forth between Australia and France, unable to make up their minds as to where to live, so Sophie grew up between worlds, and between languages, an experience which has formed a lot of her work. A bilingual French and English speaker, she was educated in schools in both Australia and France, and has a BA and M.Litt in French and English Literature from the University of New England in northern NSW. In 2018 she successfully completed a PhD in creative practice, also at UNE, which was officially awarded in 2019. Lorena Carrington is a photographic artist and illustrator with an interest in lost and forgotten fairy tales.
