Eva Ibbotson



I was alerted by coughingbear to the death of
Eva Ibbotson, whose books I enjoy so much. There’s an obituary here. People may be interested to know that The Persephone Post is featuring her all this week. It was wonderful how she managed to keep writing so well at such a great age and I'm sorry there won't be any more from her.
