About the Author

I was born in 1934 in the County of Middlesex which is now a borough of London, England. The war had started when I began my elementary schooling in September, 1939 and it ended in the year I finished elementary schooling in 1945. I carried a gas mask in a cardboard box to school everyday for the first years of the war and we practiced sitting in the classroom in the masks. There were air raid shelters in the school field and during the Blitz when the planes dropped bombs day and night we sometimes had to have our lessons in them. I do not remember much about life before the war but the war I remember clearly.

I came to Edmonton, Alberta in 1967 and have lived here ever since. I had two sons and a daughter and it is their children who started me writing. I wrote stories for them to accompany picture sweaters that I knit for them.

Barbara Azore is my real name. My grandfather baptised me and gave me the name Azore. All I know of its origin is that my grandfather "plucked it from the Heavens." I have never met anyone else with that name so when I had some articles published in the Edmonton Journal Newspaper I decided to use Azore as my 'nom de plume'.

I have published three children's books under the same name. In October 2006, McNally Robinson, New York, made Wanda and the Frogs their Book of the Month.
