摘要
Toronto-born Marthe Jocelyn is the award-winning author and illustrator of over 25 books for children and teenagers. Her range includes board books, picture books, chapter books, novels, and non-fiction. Her picture book Hannah's Collections was short-listed for the Governor General's Literary Award for Illustration. Her novel Mable Riley won the inaugural TD Canadian Children's Literature Award. Jocelyn is the 2009 recipient of the prestigious Vicky Metcalf Award for her body of work. For more information, visit her website: www. marthejocelyn. com. This interview explores Jocelyn's views about children's writing and her writing process behind Folly (2010), a finalist for the Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People. It examines her views about narrative focalisation, Victorian writing, and her research into the Foundling Hospital. Jocelyn responded to my questions through two emails on September 24 and 27, 2011.
