Genuinely so sad to read that children’s author Jill Murphy has passed away. When a covid first hit and I started this page, we didn’t have a huge number of followers, and so getting permission to read published stories on our lives was near on impossible. After lots of google searches, I reached out to Jill’s agent, Pamela, to ask if I could read these stories. Whilst normally this wouldn’t be allowed, Jill herself replied to Pamela, granting us special permission to read her stories during the first lockdown. Apparently, she loved the idea of our page and was more than happy to support us!! What a woman – not only one of the biggest children’s authors of all time, but someone who clearly has a heart of gold I grew up reading The Worst Witch series, and have such lovely, Rosey, special memories of my mum and dad tucking me into bed and reading me the Large Family stories (pictured)… and now I regularly read these to Indi. I’ll be reading this to Indi tonight, laughing at the truth behind never getting peace in the house(!) and giving my family a tight squeeze.
Very sad to hear the passing of the wonderful author Jill Murphy – her books were such an important and memorable part of my childhood. The Worst Witch was one of my favourite book series – Mildred Hubble was a bold adventurer and the perfectly imperfect character was such a role model to me growing up! She was brilliant, scrappy, fun, passionate and rough around the edges! I devoured those books and avidly watched the series in the late 90s. Also loved Jill’s Large Family series when I was really little- I remember Five Minutes Peace and All In One Piece. Big love for Jill and I’m so sure, MANY in my age group and beyond, have been touched by Jill’s work.
They’re a bit battered after all these years, but Jill Murphy’s The Worst Witch books instilled in eight-year-old me such a love of reading that I’ve never been able to part with them. Thank you for Mildred Hubble, one of my childhood heroes.
The Worst Witch series is still a fantastic read that delights readers of all ages. Absolutely magical. Jill Murphy will live on the readers who will continue to pick up and her wonderful books.
This is so sad! I have loved Jill Murphy‘s books and have been able to pass that love to our daughter. The Large Family books are our favs followed very closely by Peace at Last. Rest Well
Jill Murphy wrote Peace At Last, which was my absolute favourite when I was small. My poor parents can still recite it. Since my friends have started having children, I’ve been gifting it to them, and it’s been such a joy to share something so special to me.
