Andy Griffiths: The art of writing youth fiction

From Sunday Morning, 11:05 am on 30 March 2025

Australian children’s writer Andy Griffiths is perhaps best-known for his phenomenally successful Treehouse series which have sold millions of copies worldwide. Following the retirement of his illustrating partner-in-crime Terry Denton, Griffiths has teamed up with new artist Bill Hope for his latest title The Land of Lost Things.  

Ahead of his trip across the Tasman for Auckland Writers Festival in May, Griffiths joins Jim to discuss the magic of writing for young people.
