It is no surprise to learn that Bali always makes headlines especially because many tourists, local and foreign, are enticed by its splendid beauty. This, of course, includes the luxury villas in Bali and Bali villas resort, to name a few.
But in recent news, Bali has made the headlines as a young Australian writer launches his book for Indonesian children in Bali.
Entitled Petualangan Anak Indonesia or The Indoventurers, Mark Nicholas considers this book launching a dream come true for him. The book, which is written in pure Bahasa Indonesia language, contains fantasy and adventure stories dedicated to the Balinese children. The news came from a press release from the Australian Embassy in Jakarta.
“It is such a wonderful experience to read my stories in front of these children for the first time and to see their reactions. I hope these stories will inspire children everywhere to use their imaginations and to cherish Indonesia’s myths and legends,” said the young writer.
The book is a compilation of three stories which are set in Bali, Sumatra, and Yogyakarta. And like some other children’s stories, it also deals with the concept of monsters, golden eggs that are magical, mythical birds, fairies, and other mythical creatures. Meanwhile, Wayan, Mutia, Wanda, and Dani are the heroes in the different stories. They are young Indonesian adventurers.
As for Nicholas’ fluency and proficiency in Bahasa, he studied the language when he was in high school. Further on, he had his first story in 2007 as part of the requirements for his Indonesia Language school assignment which he took at the University of Sydney.
“I hope this story will inspire children to use their imagination and appreciate the myths and legends of Indonesia,” he said
