Cresswell, Helen

Cresswell, Helen
▪ 2006

      British author (b. July 11, 1934, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Eng.—d. Sept. 26, 2005, Eakring, Nottinghamshire, Eng.), penned more than 100 children's works—ranging from picture books to intermediate-age novels—and numerous television screenplays, most of which she infused with humour and fantasy. She was perhaps best known for the Lizzie Dripping series (1973–91), about a young girl who befriends a witch, and the Bagthorpe Saga (1977–2001), a multivolume chronicle of an eccentric family's adventures. Cresswell adapted many of her books into successful television shows, and in 2000 she won a BAFTA award for children's writing.
