作者介紹
作者介紹 Philippa Pearce spent her childhood in Great Shelford, a village near Cambridge. The village, the river, and the countryside in which she lived appear more or less plainly in Minnow on the Say and Tom's Midnight Garden. Philippa studied English and History at Cambridge University. She worked for the BBC as a scriptwriter and producer, and then in publishing as an editor. She wrote many books including the modern classic, Tom's Midnight Garden, for which she won the Carnegie Medal. She was awarded an OBE for services to Children's Literature. Sadly, Philippa died in 2006.
