Margaret Storey is the author of several books for children. Neil Gaiman has cited her as an influence: "Margaret Storey is more or less out of print these days, alas. I loved her when I was about seven or eight, and am looking forward to finding out how much of her stuff has wound up in mine." [1]
Her work includes a series based on the adventures of two children, Timothy and Ellen, and a witch named Melinda Farbright: "the real thing - strange and magical, and above all, dangerous"[1] This series includes the following works:
- Timothy and Two Witches
- The Stone Wizard aka "The Stone Sorcerer"
- The Dragon's Sister and Timothy Travels
- A Quarrel of Witches
- The Sleeping Witch
- A War of Wizards (1976)
- The Double Wizard
Her books, for older children, include
- Wrong Gear
- Keep Running
- Pauline
- The Mollyday Holiday
Pauline, about an orphan forced to live with uncomprehending relatives, has been described as "an astonishingly mature novel for a new writer".[2]
