Children Often Have A Much Stronger Concept

I Like Writing For Children. It Seems To Me That Most People Underestimate Their Understanding And The Strength Of Their Feelings And In My Books For Them I Try To Put This Right.

I Wanted To Be A War Reporter - Scrabbling Around, Exposing Things. I Didn't Want To Go To University, I Wanted To Get A Job, But Auntie Beryl Said I Should Go To Oxford.

I Am Not A Victim. I Am An Angry Survivor.

I Dislike The Word 'victim.' I Dislike Being Told That I 'lost' My Husband - As If I Had Idly Abandoned You By The Side Of The Railway Track Like An Unwanted Pair Of Old Shoes.

Children Often Have A Much Stronger Concept Of Morality Than Adults.
