'Lorna Gregory was the only child born to a Sydney family in 1939. From an early age, she accompanied her father on his mobile library rounds and meetings with book wholesalers. Later years were spent on a Queensland farm where her interest in travel, drama and films eventually led her toward writing (Kobo Books).
Gregory's children series, Miss Minnie was born from numerous children's stories that originated from her assignments with the Australian College of Journalism.
