45. Author Profile Of Bobbie Neate I like to get inside children s heads. Many non fiction authors can t do it. How do you get your ideas? They just come I m not sure how. http://www.wordpool.co.uk/ap/neate.html

Bobbie Neate How many books have you had published? 23 for children and one for adults. Did you write for fun when you were at school? I hated writing at school - at least I hated writing what the teachers wanted me to do. I liked doing research but I never wanted to show it to anybody. Have you always earned your living as a writer? If not, what else have you done/do you still do? I have never just lived off my writing - I have been a primary school teacher and a university lecturer, I have worked publishers but now I am writing and publishing my own books. When was your first book published and what was it called? My first book for children was called Nappies - I always knew that young children were interested in babies and the things they need. The success of this title proves that children are interested in nappies!. Was it difficult to get your first book published? Not really - I was asked to do it - but I found it very hard to get right. I was always writing too much. Which is your favourite of your own books and why?

Some would have it that children's literature is literature written specially for children, though many books that were originally intended for adults are now commonly thought of as works for children, for example Mark Twain 's The Prince and the Pauper , or Huckleberry Finn . The opposite has also been known to occur, where works of fiction originally written or marketed for children are given recognition as adult books. Witness that in recent years, the prestigious Whitbread Awards were twice given to books marketed as children's books: Philip Pullman 's The Amber Spyglass , and Mark Haddon 's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time . The Nobel prize for literature has also been given to authors who made great contributions to children's literature, such as
