2 unusual facts about Ena Noël


Ena Noël

Ena's crowning moment in IBBY and in promoting Australian children's literature internationally was no doubt her achievement in 1986 of successfully nominating Patricia Wrightson for the IBBY Hans Christian Andersen Medal for the body of her writing for children, and Robert Ingpen the IBBY Hans Christian Andersen Medal for his illustrations of children's books.

From 1956 to 1974 she was renowned for her skill as a teacher-librarian - especially at Fort St Girls High (now known as Fort Street High School).
