 DescriptionShortlisted for the Carnegie Medal (announced July 8), this tale for ages nine and over is about an orphan, horrid relatives, a strange inheritance and the dancing Lipizzaner stallions that perform before the emperor. A heartwarming, old-fashioned adventure, every bit as absorbing as Ibbotson's prize-winning Journey to the River Sea. - Guardian. Author descriptionEva Ibbotson was born in Vienna, but spent her early childhood travelling backwards and forwards across Europe between the homes of her father, a scientist, and her mother, a novelist, who separated when she was three. When the Nazis came to power, her family fled to England. She lives in Newcastle, where she brought up her four children and has written the best-selling novels for both adults and children that have been published all around the world. |
