About the Author
Mary Stewart was one of the 20th century's bestselling and best-loved novelists.

In 1971 she was awarded the International PEN Association's Frederick Niven Prize for The Crystal Cave, and in 1974 the Scottish Arts Council Award for one of her children's books, Ludo and the Star Horse.
