About Monica Dickens

During the war she worked as a nurse and in a Spitfire factory, and began writing novels. Praise came with every book: JB Priestley wrote 'Monica Dickens gets better and better', AS Byatt argued that she was much underestimated. John Betjeman declared that she was a novelist 'who has all the airs and graces a reader could wish for'. Monica Dickens felt the challenge to write for children and began in the 1970s. Her Follyfoot books were made into one of the most successful TV series for children of the 1970s and remain a favourite of horse-lovers everywhere. Monica Dickens loved riding and she kept horses.
