Description
Fay Howe, courtesy of her son, Don Watson.
Fay Howe, as drawn by illustrator Brian Simmonds for "Lighthouse Girl."
This is part 2 of a two part interview with Dianne Wolfer, author of the award-winning children's book Lighthouse Girl. The book tells the true story of Fay Catherine Howe, daughter of the lighthouse keeper at Breaksea Island in Western Australia, during World War I.
Around 30,000 soldiers left Australian shores to fight in World War I, and the sight of Fay Howe waving to them from the island became a symbol of hope for many of the departing soldiers.
Part 2 also features an interview with Fay Howe's son, Don Watson, along with his wife, Peg, and their daughter Denise.
