“Eva Ibbotson is one of the best-loved children’s writers in the world. She was born in Vienna into a creative, academic Jewish family who moved to Scotland after Hitler came to power. She graduated from Cambridge University but gave up being a physiologist because she didn’t enjoy doing tests on animals. She raised a family of four children and became a writer. Eva’s first children’s novel was published in 1975, and her most famous story, Journey to the River Sea, won the Smarties Gold Prize in 2001. Her books have been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, the Whitbread Book of the Year, the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, and many other literary awards.
Eva died at the age of 85 in October 2010, a few months before One Dog and His Boy was published. She left behind one finished manuscript: her final children’s book, The Abominables, published in 2012.”Foreword in One Dog and His Boy
