Joan Aiken was born in Sussex in 1924. She wrote over a hundred books for young readers and adults and is recognized as one of the classic authors of the twentieth century. Amanda Craig, writing in The Times, said, 'She was a consummate storyteller, one that each generation discovers anew.' Her best-known books are those in the James III saga, of which The Wolves of Willoughby Chase was the first title, published in 1962 and awarded the Lewis Carroll prize. Both that and Black Hearts in Battersea have been filmed.

Joan Aiken's Felix trilogy is definitely the kind of reading material you can never have enough of. It's got everything; adventure of almost every kind you could dream of, friendship, romance, history, travel ... To me these books are timeless, and every generation needs them. Bookwitch
