Here's a little about Eva Ibbotson...

Mrs. Ibbotson was actually born with the name Maria Charlotte Michelle Wiesner in 1925 in Vienna, Austria. Her family moved to England when Hitler came into power. She attended Bedford College and Cambridge University to become a physiologist. But she was turned off by all the testing done on animals. So she got married and raised a family. She decided to go back to school to receive her diploma in education from the University of Durham in 1965. While raising her family, she started to write books for adults and children.

She currently lives in England.
