Joy Cowley is a famous children's author from New Zealand. Born in 1936, she is well known for the many books which are often read in primary schools and early education centres around both the world and her native country. She is also less reputed for her earlier work in adult-audience literature and novels, the first of which was made into a film in 1971. She was awarded an OBE in 1992 and a DCNZM in 2005, both for her services to literature.
