p>Margaret Mahy was a New Zealand author of children's and young
adult books. Many of her story plots have strong supernatural
elements but her writing concentrates on the themes of human
relationships and growing up. She wrote more than 100 picture
books, 40 novels, and 20 collections of short stories and, at her
death she was one of thirty writers to win the biennial,
international Hans Christian Andersen Medal for her "lasting
contribution to children's literature."
p>Quentin Blake is one of the UK's cultural treasures. He has
written and illustrated dozens of books and provided pictures for
hundreds more, including the children's novels of Roald Dahl.
Two books worth of story crammed into 63 magical pages. No impossibly articulate child protagonists with clearly defined goals or desires, no rhyme or reason, just a pair of stories cut from the same cloth as books by Willaim Stieg and Roald Dahl. -- David Elzey "The Excelsior File"
