Autorenporträt
Christine Chaundler was a prolific English children's author who also penned novels for boys under the name Peter Martin.Some of her hundreds of short stories were featured on BBC. She was born in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, the daughter of Henry Chaundler, a solicitor, and Constance Julia Chaundler (n e Thompson). She attended Queen Anne's School, Caversham, until she was sixteen, and then St Winifred's School, Llanfairfechan. Aside from a brief stint in the Land Army during World War I, Chaundler worked in editorial positions as she developed her writing career. By 1920, her profits had enabled her to construct a home on the Sussex Downs, where she stayed until her death in 1972. She has never married. Chaundler staged a children's version of Sleeping Beauty at Biggleswade Town Hall in 1910. Chaundler's first earnings as a writer occurred in 1912, when she won 10s 6d in a Prize Poem competition organized by Girls' Realm. She began producing stories and books for both girls and boys, and her income grew from there. She worked as a sub-editor for Little Folks from 1914 to 1917 before briefly joining the Land Army. She edited juvenile novels for James Nisbet and Company until 1922. In the 1930s, she reviewed children's books for The Quiver.
