Today we celebrate the birthday of Joan Aiken, born in 1924. Due to post-World War II housing shortages, in the early 1950s, she and her young family lived in a converted single-decker bus. Although she also wrote suspense novels and sequels to Jane Austen's works she is best known for her children’s books including “The Wolves of Willoughby Chase” and ”Arabel’s Raven” Can you remember the name of her raven?
