The Australian writer Ivan Southall has died; here is his obituary.
I know him primarily as the author of Hill's End, which I think is the best "group of children surviving a catastrophe without grownups to help" book ever. Here's what I said about it last year...
Embarrassingly I don't think I've actually read anything by Ivan Southall, and certainly not Hill's end, which sounds like the type of book I'd have loved as a child (and will definitely check out now).
