Biography
Joan G. Robinson (1910-88) trained as an illustrator and, in 1939, began writing and illustrating her highly acclaimed and very successful children’s books. Among her works most famous titles are the Teddy Robinson stories (Macmillan) and the Mary-Mary series (Hot Key Books).
Her novel When Marnie Was There (HarperCollins) is the gripping ghost story of the strange encounter and friendship between Anna and a shadowy girl called Marnie, set among the wild and watery sand dunes of the Norfolk countryside. This classic tale about friendship, loneliness and family was made into a major movie by Studio Ghibli, and nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.
