Biographie de l'auteur :
The author was Ivy Lilian Wallace. She was born in Grimsby England on October 7, 1915. She started drawing as a child. Her parents encouraged her, as they recognized her talents. During World War II, while working in a police station and womanning a police switchboard, she doodled a picture of a fairy sitting on a toadstool with a little rabbit in front. She then decided that there were too many fairies and so she rubbed out the fairy and gave the rabbit wings. After naming the rabbit Pookie, she wrote a story about him: "This is the story of Pookie, a little white furry rabbit, with soft, floppity ears, big blue eyes and the most lovable rabbit smile in the world," were the opening lines. In 1946, she approached a publisher with this idea for a book. At first her idea seemed to have been rejected but later she was called back and her book was accepted. She later married her publisher so that her publisher became her husband. All of the illustrations in this book are by the author herself. Nobody helped her. She died on March 13, 2006 at the age of 90.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Pookie is a children's book about a rabbit with wings. It was first published in 1946. Pookie was tremendously popular in England. However, it had not been reprinted in many years and had never been published in the United States of America. Pookie appears on the Bookfinder's list of 100 books most searched for that are out of print. Therefore we have decided to reprint it to give American children the opportunity to learn about Pookie. This was the first book about Pookie. After Pookie became popular, there were several more books: Pookie (1946) Pookie and the Gypsies (1947) Pookie Puts the World Right (1949) Pookie in Search of a Home (1951) Pookie believes in Santa Claus (1953) Pookie at the Seaside (1956) Pookie's Big Day (1958) Pookie and the Swallows (1961) Pookie in Wonderland (1963) Pookie and his Shop (1966)
