Essie Summers Plaque in Octagon Writers Walk Unveiled

As part of the Dunedin Writers & Readers Festival 2021 a plaque to Essie Summers was added to the Writers Walk in the Octagon.  The Essie Summers plaque is situated at the foot of the Robbie Burns statue in the upper Octagon.  The was a good turn out and most people then moved to the Public Library to hear personal details of Summer’s life and approach to writing from the writer’s two children.
