MONICA EDWARDS BIOGRAPHY

Several approaches have been made to the Edwards family in recent years with the suggestion of writing a biography of the author. Until now they have not been happy to approve such an exercise. However, much impressed by the two books produced by Brian Parks on their mother's series, they have asked Brian to write a biography. Girls Gone By publishers are to publish it and work is going on as you read this. Please note: The book can only be ordered when it is announced on their site.


This website is devoted to the English children's author Monica Edwards.

The choices under the title, and sometimes appearing in the panel to the left, will take you to the various pages of the site. There are many photographs of the books, taken mainly from my own collection. I have kept their file size small to speed loading.

Most of the pictures are enlargeable by clicking. Once enlarged use your 'BACK' button to return to the previous view.

You will find notes on the range and history of Monica Edwards' career in the Introduction page of the Titles section, and a brief account of her life in the Biography section, the latter with some photographs.

The site has been 'live' for more than five years, and grows all the time, if fitfully. It started simply as an illustrated list of Monica Edwards' books, from a booklet I made to remind me which editions I had found. It 'grew like Topsy' and now needs an Index (above) to help find me find information. To help returning browsers see what's new I've added a page to record these 'updates' and additions. To get there select the Extra! link above.

To pass on information to me, to correct errors or any other comments, please feel free to mail me. Please also feel free to use the Guestbook by clicking above; it's nice to have some feed-back.

Finally please note that all book photographs are from copies of the books in my collection, or in those of close friends, and that the copyright for those illustrations remains with the publishers or artists mentioned. Other photographs have their copyright noted. Text copyright is mine. Please respect this.
