The family lived in the flour mill, which stood on the upper reaches of the River Cam, in Great Shelford, south of Cambridge.

Her earliest ambition was to be a writer, and she has written many books, winning the Carnegie Medal for Tom's Midnight Garden. She has also been awarded an OBE for services to Children's Literature.
