Born Jean Mary Pearson, she lives in Sandwich, England.

She's written eight YA novels, five children's books, and more than 10
books for adults.

"Much of her fiction takes place in the early 20th century, and
illustrates the changes wrought on English culture by World War II."

"The Times," in reviewing "A Long Way From Verona," describes her as a
"writer of...humorous intensity."

(filmography - "God on the Rocks" was filmed for British TV)

She has a 16-page entry in the "Children's Literature Review"
encyclopedias.
