Biographie de Eileen Moynihan
Intoduction about me and about Visitors from the Otherworld Hello. My name is Eileen Moynihan. I am 64 years old. I was born in Essex, England, and grew up on the Isle of Wight from the age of three. My father was Irish and my mother English. I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters. At the age of 22, I moved to Ireland after my parents had moved there. I lived in West Cork, and more recently on the border of Counties Roscommon and Longford in a village called Termonbarry. For most of that time, I was teaching children with Special Needs, and raising my three children with my husband. After taking early retirement, I began to write books for children. Some of my four grandchildren are enjoying them now. I also write poetry and short stories for adults. From an early age I loved books. I can remember sitting on my mother’s knee turning the pages and absorbing the illustrations that hinted what might happen in the story. Of course like every child I loved Enid Blyton, starting with Noddy. Many of her stories involved fairy folk such as gnomes, elves, brownies, pixies and many others. I loved this fantasy world. One day in the school library I pulled out a book called ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ by C.S. Lewis. I devoured it and had to read all the books in the ‘Chronicles of Narnia’. Another book I found in the school library was ‘Tom’s Midnight Garden’ by Philippa Pearce. This is still one of my favourite books.
