1881-1971
writer
born on 19 October 1881 at Hobart in Tasmania.
My name is Hilda Bridges and I represent Natures gifts because I wrote
thirteen novels, three childrens tales and hundreds of short stories while keeping
house and helping my writer-brother, Roy. My stories, usually set on the east coast of
Tasmania, sometimes told of smuggling, hidden treasure, secret caves and mysterious
identities.
IDEA
FOR SCENE: Show Hilda Bridges out walking along the sea shore on a stormy day, making up
one of her stories. (Go to the library to find one of her books for ideas.)
