Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Philippa Pearce and illustrator Helen Craig share two grandsons, Nat and Will, the sons of their children Sally and Ben. Philippa wrote A Finder s Magic for Helen to illustrate, and the name of the book s hero, Tillawn (Till), is an amalgam of the boys' names. The peculiar relationship between the old and the very young is a constant theme in Philippa's writing and when, late in life, she had the unexpected delight of two small grandsons, it gave her a renewed burst of creative energy. She called being a grandmother a privilege, a rare, almost inexplicable pleasure not just fun but something different, more. Philippa Pearce died in December 2006. The Philippa Pearce Memorial Lecture is held annually in September.
