The family moved around a lot, finally settling in rural Essex. As children, Diana and her two sisters were deprived of a good, steady supply of books by a father, ‘who could beat Scrooge in a meanness contest’. So, armed with a vivid imagination and an insatiable quest for good books to read, she decided that she would have to write them herself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45166298005683,"sku":"9780007416868","price":239.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/715aY44lagL.jpg?v=1764939962","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/earwig-and-the-witch","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
