المراجعة التحريرية
"Joan Aiken is a marvel" (Philip Pullman) "She was a consummate story-teller, one that each generation discovers anew" (Amanda Craig The Times) "Dickensian in flavour ... rich in atmosphere and intrigue" (Julia Eccleshare Guardian) "A genuine small masterpiece" (Time) "Thrilling tale...stuffed with atmosphere, adventure, memorable characters and luxuriant Gothic prose. Any child who discovers it will fall in love, not only with Aiken’s writing, but with reading... The Wolves sequence has inspired writers from Philip Pullman to Cathryn Constable... Aiken was a genius, and her reissue deserves howls of delight" (Amanda Craig The Times)

Her first children's novel, The Kingdom of the Cave, was published in 1960.

Her best-known books are those in the James III saga, of which The Wolves of Willoughby Chase was the first title, published in l962 and awarded the Lewis Carroll prize. Both that and Black Hearts in Battersea have been filmed.
