FINAL WORD:

image

“CRAB APPLES” WAS A FINALIST in the 2001

New Zealand Children's Book of the Year Awards,

placing it as one of the top 5 children's books of

that year in the Junior Fiction category.

I'd like to publicly thank the publishing team of Penny

Scown, Frances Chan and Christine Dale for their

contributions to its design, editing, etc; which I'm quite

sure lifted it over the line and got me into the Awards.

Thank you all so, so much.

(BTW: this version is not exactly the same. The original

files long ago sank into the electronic swamps of time.)
