Miss Renshaw is breathless around Morgan. It's gentle groundskeeper Morgan - a gardener, hippie, poet and teacher-smoocher. So, eleven little girls trot along the streets in their sweet straw hats to the Ena Thompson Memorial Gardens to ponder death but they know there's another reason Miss Renshaw is keen to visit the gardens. So sets a gently ominous tone on the very first page of The Golden Day, the latest novel by talented author Ursula Dubosarsky. Miss Renshaw, the teacher with springy hair and the stance of a lion, tells her girls they will visit the Ena Thompson Memorial Gardens to ponder this tragic occurrence, and to think about death. It's 1967 and Ronald Ryan has been hanged in Melbourne.
