| Author Notes: |
Her first book Tea at Mrs. Manderby's was published by Hamish Hamilton Children's Books in 1976. Adèle particularly enjoys writing for young adults #151; her books explore relationships between people and strong emotions without losing sight of the need for a strong narrative line. For younger children she often injects an element of fantasy. Ozzy, the cat who narrates the Fantora Family Files has become one of Adèle's favourite characters and she says "he is seriously thinking of writing another book soon." Adèle also writes poetry which has appeared in various magazines and anthologies. She is a voracious reader, a "fanatical" knitter and a lifelong movie-goer. |
