Remembering legendary Kiwi writer Margaret Mahy, born on this day in 1936 đïž
A true taonga of New Zealand storytelling, Mahy turned everyday life into magical adventures, inspiring generations of Kiwis. Known for her colourful wigs at book readings, she made complex ideas simple and always sprinkled in a touch of the supernatural.
