Eva Ibbotson’s zodiac sign is Aquarius. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Eva Ibbotson was born in the Year of the Ox. Another of the powerful Chinese Zodiac signs, the Ox is steadfast, solid, a goal-oriented leader, detail-oriented, hard-working, stubborn, serious and introverted but can feel lonely and insecure. Takes comfort in friends and family and is a reliable, protective and strong companion. Compatible with Snake or Rooster.
Remembered for such acclaimed children's novels as The Abominables, Which Witch?, and Journey to the River Sea, she also wrote such bestselling works for adults as A Song for Summer and The Morning Gift.
A native of Vienna, Austria, she grew up as Eva Maria Charlotte Michelle Wiesner and was the daughter of a Writer and a Doctor. Born into a Jewish family, she was forced to flee Austria in the 1930s as a result of the strengthening Nazi regime.
Journey to the Sea, a work of historical young adult fiction, earned her the 2001 Smarties Prize.
She met Alan Ibbotson, an entomologist and the man who would become her husband, while both were students at Cambridge University. The couple later raised four children.
