Annie Barrows writes children's fiction and adult historical fiction, with two very different strands to her work. The Ivy + Bean series follows two seven-year-old neighbours whose friendship leads to schemes involving games, school, ghosts, dancing and neighbourhood trouble; the books are short, illustrated and driven by the mismatch between Ivy's imagination and Bean's impulsiveness. Barrows also completed The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society from a manuscript begun by her aunt Mary Ann Shaffer, an epistolary novel about writer Juliet Ashton and the residents of Guernsey after the German occupation. Her children's work fits funny early chapter books, friendship stories and school fiction, while the Guernsey novel sits in historical fiction and books told through letters. Ivy + Bean is the main entry point for younger readers; the Guernsey novel is for adults interested in wartime community and correspondence. Read more Less
