Eva Ibbotson Pack x 5 Award-winning author Pack by Eva Ibbotson (author) (UK edition)

Missed the Hogwarts Express? Catch a ride with Eva Ibbotson. Witches, monsters, ghosts: the ultimate fantasy pick. Long before Harry Potter, Eva Ibbotson wrote a book in which Kings Cross Platform 13 led you into a magical land. OK: that wonderful book isn’t actually in this pack, but it gives you an idea of the kind of treats that are in store. A troupe of phantoms struggling to haunt a crumbling castle. A kindly witch who dreams of being wicked. An epic jungle mission to the mighty Amazon. Whether you’re after a magical quest, a ghastly ghost story or just a good old-fashioned happy ending, these spellbinding classics will serve up exactly what you’re looking for.

Marvellous, magical fun from the late, great Eva Ibbotson

Vivid, sensual fiction featuring a rich cast of characters

Humorous, perfectly pitched and full of anarchic magic

Eva Ibbotson

Eva Ibbotson is the award-winning author of many books for children and adults. She has a daughter and three sons, who showed her that children like to read about ghosts, wizards, and witches “because they are just like people but madder and more interesting.”

She was born in Vienna, in Austria, but moved to England with her family when the Nazis came to power. After training to be a physiologist which she didn’t enjoy because she didn’t like doing experiments on animals, Eva got married and had four very nice children.

Her first children’s book, The Great Ghost Rescue was published in 1975, and she is best known for titles like Journey to the River Sea and The Dragonfly Pool. Eva died in 2010, aged 85.
