	Amanda Craig - Children's Literature, reviews
		At 80, Eva Ibbotson has become a late-blooming star of children's fiction, one of the top five of an elite including Philip Pullman and JK Rowling - both of whom admire her profoundly.
		The refugee Eva was sent to Dartington, then a paradisial progressive boarding school ''full of Freuds and Huxleys'' and discovered a passion for Frances Hodgson Burnett, with whom her work is now compared.
		Widowed and debilitated by lupus, she retains the indomitable spirit of her protagonists, and is one of those rare writers who captures both the quest for happiness, and how to recognise it when you find it in an unexpected form.

		In each of Ibbotson's children's books, her protagonists are orphans or children whose parents are so wrapped up in themselves that they ignore their children.
		Ibbotson's humor is central to her books, and her lighthearted writing matched her outlook on life until recently.
		Ibbotson feared her readers would think she was crazy for writing something different, but British children have made her first historical fiction, Journey to the River Sea (Dutton, 2002), a best seller.

	Ibbotson Eva book reviews
		Eva Ibbotson is a great author anyway, and this is her book "jewel," fitting the story.
		Ibbotson is a talented author whose work is equally appropriate for teens as it is adults.
		Eva Ibbotson sends her threads far and wide, and then draws them together in an almost perfect bundle, meaning she brings a lot of people into the plot, all with their own problems, and intertwines their troubles so there is a place for everyone.

	BCCB-Rising Star: Eva Ibbotson
		Ibbotson's books are not only fun, they are funny, with humorously wry observations ("[Aunt Etta] was the eldest-a tall, bony woman who did fifty press-ups before breakfast and had a small but not at all unpleasant mustache on her upper lip"--Island of the Aunts) as well as over-the-top ridiculousness.
		Ibbotson's latest title, Journey to the River Sea, features a plot similar to the standard one mentioned above; however, in this book Ibbotson forgoes the fantasy elements and adds instead historical adventure in an exotic Brazilian setting (which for many kids will have a lot of the same appeals as her fantasies).
		Ibbotson writes cleanly and concisely, and her writing contains numerous sensory details that bring her settings and characters to vivid life.

	ALL ABOUT ROMANCE reviews Magic Flutes by Eva Ibbotson
		Eva Ibbotson is not a prolific writer, but to to her fans, her books are all cherished treasures and they love each and every one of them.
		Ibbotson's characters - these people in the hands of a less-talented writer would merely be parodies of stock characters: the shallow first-love, her snooty petty bougeoise relatives, the flightly yet wise elderly aristocratic aunts who love Tessa and would literally starve for her.
		Eva Ibbotson has written a book of the same caliber and quality in Magic Flutes and has done it in 255 pages.

	Amazon.com: Which Witch?: Books: Eva Ibbotson,Annabel Large (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Young readers will delight in the way Ibbotson glories in the ghoulish and the gory--and in her engaging characters who are kindly and fiendish all at once.
		Ibbotson describes perfectly the hierarchy of this fantasy world; every spirit, witch, and ogre is true to form.
		Eva Ibbotson delivers another fun-filled fantasy, this one featuring a most eccentric assortment of witches, plus a wizard in search of a wife, a 16th-century ghost who murdered all seven of his wives, a one-eyed ogre, a gypsy fortuneteller, an earthworm named Rover, and a likable young boy who has escaped from a dismal orphanage.

	Eva Ibbotson, Which Witch? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The rest of us can just sit back and enjoy Ibbotson's tongue-in-cheek, arch humor as she spins her tale, highlighted by Large's fl-and-white drawings.
		Ibbotson has a knack for juxtaposing the ludicrous with the fanciful, and she's not afraid to go for the gross-out when the situation calls for it, as Madame Olympia's ghoulish audition proves.
		Yes, the witches are stereotypes, warts and all, but you get the feeling that Ibbotson is playing them up, and for the most part, they become sympathetic.

		During the interview (which was conducted at a comfortable and stately pace), she had to take a few days off to go London where her Journey to the River Sea was awarded the Smarties Prize -- a big annual prize sponsored by a candy company in the U.K. Ms.
		Ibbotson said that, while she was very happy to receive the award, unfortunately she is not sure if anyone heard her thank-you speech as she mistakenly held the microphone upside down during it!
		Eva Ibbotson: I wrote stories and poems when I was a little girl -- in German to begin with because we lived in Austria then, and in English when we emigrated to Great Britain.

	THE ROMANCE READER reviews: A Song for Summer by Eva Ibbotson
		Ibbotson has a talent for using short but insightful vignettes to illuminate her unforgettable characters.
		Ibbotson's satire is so affectionate that even an ardent feminist like myself couldn't take offense.
		And although Ellen is no militant feminist, she's no doormat either — she knows what she wants to do, and she does it well, whether that's comforting a lonely student, preparing a sumptuous meal or risking her life to aid Marek in his dangerous pursuits.
