Joan Aiken’s 91st Birthday
Every so often an extraordinarily prolific author comes
along to win the hearts of a generation. Writer Joan Aiken was one of
those authors. At the age of 16, she finished her first full-length
novel. She was destined for great things.
Born into a family of writers, Joan emerged with a voice all her own,
publishing more than one hundred books over the course of her career.
Her stunning volume of writing includes children’s books, thrillers, and
literary works modeled after the fictional world created by Jane
Austen. It’s hard enough to write for a single audience, but Joan was
comfortable writing a range of stories that everyone could enjoy.
Today’s Doodle drawn by Kevin Laughlin pays tribute to The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, the novel that kicked off Joan’s most beloved series of children’s books.
The Wolves Chronicles
include a dozen books published over a 43-year span, following the
adventures of several children in an alternate history of England.
