Award winning writer of novels for children and adults, Maurice Gee has had a long association with the filmic worlds of cinema and television. Visually evocative, many of Gee’s novels have been made into good films. In My Father’s Den (based on Gee’s novel of the same name), and Fracture (based on Gee’s Crime Story) were released within months of each other in 2004, and were both highly acclaimed.
