Deciding that the pace of book publishing was more congenial than that of newspapers she went to Oxford in 1950 to work for the Clarendon Press. In 1952 she married a don Anthony Cockshut and when they moved to Manchester she was so homesick for Oxford that she set her first novel The Warden s Niece (1957) in an Oxford college in Victorian times feeling an affinity between her own pre-war generation and the Victorian child characterized by a meek acceptance of the power of the adult world . Returning to Oxford in 1964 she continued to write novels including A Likely Lad set in Manchester which won the Guardian award for children s fiction in 1971 and was successfully dramatized as a children s TV serial. Gillian Avery is also well known as a reviewer and historian of children s literature. Her two most recent books are Behold the Child: American Children and their Books 1621-1922 and The Everyman Anthology of Poetry for Children.
