About the Author

For as long as Marion Littlejohn can remember history has been a passion. Marion has taught History, English and Art to secondary students in Melbourne, Darwin, Dimboola and Rochester. In 1995 she made the move from the classroom to the museum world and began working as an Education Officer at the Sovereign Hill outdoor museum in Ballarat. Our Stories: Eureka Stockade was her first Black Dog Books title.

About the Illustrator

His maternal grandfather worked as a contractor erecting poppet heads on the Ballarat mines. He dismantled the last mine in Ballarat in 1920. Doug is a retired history teacher and taught for 30 years in Ballarat schools. He is currently Sovereign Hill's ambassador to local schools and a guide at the gold museum. Doug's other Black Dog Books title is Our Stories: Life on the Goldfields.
