Philippa Pearce

Philippa Pearce was an English author of children's books. Her most famous work is the time slip fantasy novel Tom's Midnight Garden, which won the 1958 Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's outstanding children's book by a British subject. Pearce was four times a commended runner up for the Medal. The peculiar relationship between the old and the very young is a constant theme in Philippa's writing and when, late in life, she had the unexpected delight of two small grandsons, it gave her a renewed burst of creative energy. She called being a grandmother a privilege, a rare, almost inexplicable pleasure not just fun but something different, more. Philippa Pearce died in December 2006.

'One of the finest children's writers of the 20th century.'
The Guardian

A beautifully crafted fantastical mystery about a little boy called Till who loses his dog Bess.

A mysterious stranger called Mr Finder offers to help Till find his dog, and they interview various witnesses including a heron, a mole, a riddling cat – and Miss Mousey, whose sketch of a peaceful riverbank offers a vital clue. The quest to find Bess is full of magic but Till begins to mistrust his supposed ally Mr Finder – until at last he realises the truth, and they track down the real culprit, a finder who likes to keep what he finds. At the end of this enchanting story Till is reunited with his beloved Bess and a new book – of the story – will be born.
