Leslie Rees and I met in early nineties, when Leslie approached me regarding his Digit Dick stories. Despite our age differences, we soon become good friends. We frequently visited each other, either he came to my Studio at Crows Nest, or I drove to his Balmoral Beach unit in Sydney’s Northern Suburb. We have discussed many things, not just Digit Dick, over the cup of tea and some biscuits.
I have always admired Leslie for his energy, positive outlook and actions. When he traveled to USA, he was almost 90 at that time, we kept in touch and I still have some of his letters. Thanks to this mutual friendship Leslie gave me an opportunity to promote Digit Dick Stories to the next generations. As an owner of publishing rights to Digit Dick I plan to develop these stories in various directions. I believe that in this Digital Age Digit Dick will continue on his journey to fame not only with his revived old stories but with the new ones as well, being one of the Australian icons. When Leslie died in 2000 I was very saddened by his death.
Leslie Rees was one of Australia's most loved authors of children's books. Leslie was the author of 27 children's books published, of which Digit Dick, was the most popular. The sale of the Digit Dick stories through the years climbed over 360,000. Digit Dick become one of a cavalcade of extraordinary Rees characters that sprang to life in a writing career of 50 years.
When in London, where he spend over six years, he had a job as a drama critic on the famous “The Era” newspaper, a paper devoted exclusively to writing about the theatre and entertainment arts. He was attending first-night performances, posting notices on the likes of Tyrone Guthrie and Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson and Peggy Ashcroft. This was a time when figures such as Bernard Shaw and O'Casey strode the scene, a time of Somerset Maugham and of John van Druten and Emlyn Williams.
After return to Sydney, Leslie was appointed at the ABC as a federal drama editor. Leslie's love was the Australian theatre as well as writing for children. He wrote a history of Australian drama. The success which began when Leslie first enchanted his two young daughters with adventure stories of a boy “as big as his mother's big toe”, named Digit Dick. |
