The 1964 Disney film starring Julie Andrews remains one of the most popular children's movies of all time. Yet the author did not want it to be known whether she was 'man, woman or kangaroo'.

Autorenporträt
At every opportunity when she was a child, ELISABETH GALVIN would jump on her mother's lap to ask for a story. One of these books was The Railway Children, which began her lifelong love of literature. After studying English and Classics at Durham University, she became a magazine journalist in London, Australia and Hong Kong. A keen open-water swimmer, Elisabeth recited passages by Jane Austen and the Brontës to herself as she swam across the English Channel to France in 2002 (it took her 10 hours 51 minutes so that's quite a lot of romantic literature).
