With the publication in 1937 of her first children's book, The Family From One End Street, which she also illustrated, Eve Garnett identified herself as a pioneer within the genre. Terence Molloy traces the author/artist's life from her early childhood to her death, examining her writing and art in the context of her times and its importance today. This biography, which includes many examples of Garnett's striking illustrations along with photographs from family collections, will be a joy to everyone who has read Garnett's work and a tantalizing introduction to the uninitiated. Includes 16 black & white plates.
