Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on July 19, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Garth Nix! May your celebrations be brighter than a Charter Mark and more exciting than an adventure beyond the Wall. Your incredible imagination has given us unforgettable journeys through the Old Kingdom, thrilling quests in The Seventh Tower, and mysterious adventures unlocking The Keys to the Kingdom.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as Mogget finding mischief or Sabriel discovering new bells. Thank you for crafting worlds that enchant readers young and old—your stories remain timeless treasures on our shelves. Wishing you endless inspiration (and fewer deadlines) ahead; may your next chapter be legendary!
