MRBW2023 was officially launched at a function kindly hosted by Roy Morgan and Michele Levine at Tonic House, 386 Flinders Lane, Melbourne, held on 21st June 2023. More than 65 friends and supporters of MRBW gathered to celebrate the launch, where they enjoyed a lively and informative address given by our guest speaker, Jane Sullivan, the long-standing literary writer and commentator from “The Age”. Jane spoke of her lifelong love of books, and shared with us some special memories, including getting Christopher Robin (Christopher Milne) to sign her copy of Winnie-the-Pooh, albeit with his signature upside down. She spoke of her book, “Storytime”, in which she revisited the treasured books of her childhood and considered why they were so important to her. All who were present agreed that it was an outstanding address.
