Peter Poidevin – författare

Jacob, a little Aborigine boy, lived in a remote outback town in the great state of the Northern Territory, which sits at the top end of the wonderland Australia. Jacobs people were among the first of the Aboriginal tribes to become assimilated into the Westernized world of Australia. Jacobs mind was always thinking of adventures he might pursue when he came of age; after all, he was now bordering on a whole six years. Now is the time, he thought. He would ask his parents for permission to leave sooner rather than later. Maybe he could talk his beloved old grandfather into accompanying him. Jacob went in search of his grandfather Bundi, who was also his very best friend.

This book displays just one of the creative streams to which Sydney born, Peter Poidevin contributes. His output is prodigious as it is seemingly irrepressible. It has interspersed a varied and interesting working life, during which he worked with some of Australias best proponents in the hospitality industry. He managed and owned restaurants and clubs, then changed to taxi driving for twenty years on the Gold Coast in Queensland.These jobs brought him into contact with a great variety of people, but thats another storyThrough his acquaintance with musicians, he produced a CD of childrens songs which he had written. This CD, called Animals Oztralia has been widely distributed throughout the world and been very well received.The songs feature the unique native animals of Australia as well as Australian folklore. Though Peter is not able to write music or play a musical instrument, melodies and words come together in his mind, as he proceeds to write each song. These he then sings to the musician who writes and arranges the music for the song. Luckily he has access to some of the best musicians in Australia.Now retired and happily settled in Tasmania, he continues to write. His writings were brought to my attention with a view to have them illustrated. For me it has been a pleasure to contribute to his most interesting works.
