Sally Christie
, b. 1964
British children’s author Sally Christie is the daughter of Philippa Pearce, who wrote the time-slip children’s classic Tom’s Midnight Garden (1958), which was awarded the Carnegie Medal. Christie’s first job was with a children’s publisher, and while working for the company she submitted a story under the pen name Syd Carter. After nearly three decades she returned to writing, publishing The Icarus Show in 2016, and Spirit, a story about friendship and magic, in 2018.
She is not to be confused with another British based writer of the same name, who is responsible for The Mistresses of Versailles Trilogy.
