Overview

Join Karen Viggers as she reflects on her life and work at the National Library of Australia.

Held in association with the National Foundation for Australian Women, Winter Tales events feature a notable woman speaking about her life and work and raise funds to support the Australian Women's Register.

Afternoon tea is served after the presentation.

The Australian Women's Register is an initiative of the National Foundation for Australian Women. The Register builds knowledge and recognition of the contribution made by women through an online biographical register. Winter Tales events raise funds to support the register's development.

Karen Viggers is a novelist, veterinarian and adventurer. When she's not vetting or buried in a book, she's climbing mountains and fording streams all over the world. She loves nature and wildlife and has worked with all sorts of native animals, from possums and penguins to pythons and seals.

Karen is fascinated by the human-animal bond and animal behaviour. She's the author of five internationally bestselling novels and lives in Canberra, where she walks daily in local bushland, listening to birds.
