Margaret Roberts

Margaret Roberts edited John Shaw Neilson: The Collected Verse, A Variorum Edition, published in 2003 in electronic format by the Australian Scholarly Editions Centre. Margaret reads several novels a week – mainly crime fiction and thrillers – and enjoys gardening. She has been exploring the impact of the principles and elements of design in gardens and has written a book about this, to be a legacy for her children and grandchildren. Margaret also enjoys designing and making patchwork quilts and has an ongoing enthusiasm for exploring local auction rooms – as they are a fascinating insight into social history, apart from the lure of the hunt. She lives in Launceston, Tasmania.
