Timeline
Hazel Townson (12 April 1928 – 11 October 2010) was an English children's-literature author.
She had over seventy books published from 1975 onwards, including in countries such as the Netherlands, Spain, France and Japan.
Her first book, entitled Looking for Lossie, was published in 1975.
Townson released three series of books: The Lenny and Jake series (between 1981 and 1997), Tiger Young Readers' series (1989–1992) and The Speckled Panic series (1982–1995).
Following its formation in 1985, Townson chaired the panel for the annual "Lancashire Children's Book of the Year" award.
By 1998, Townson published books totalled 55.
These ranged from picture books to teenage novels.
Some of Townson's books, such as The Speckled Panic and Terrible Tuesday, have been adapted for television.
She also had stories commissioned for Granada Television's Time for a Story, Tickle on the Tum and Story World programmes.
In an article for Books for Keeps, Townson wrote: "I've been lucky with my illustrators. For instance, Philippe Dupasquier and Tony Ross both have the exact measure of childhood, felicitous touches of humour and an apparently total recall of their own early days. Each of their illustrations can be dwelt upon lovingly to extract from it more and more delicious detail - such as one of Tony Ross's illustrations for Terrible Tuesday, which shows gunmen threatening a bank manager on the steps of his bank. Not only does the bank manager have his hands up in surrender, but also the passing baby in its pram and the statue in the road outside. Even a dog has raised its front paws, and the birds their wings."
She frequently visited schools, libraries, colleges and writers' groups to talk about children's literature and to assist with creative writing.
In 2005, Virgin Atlantic selected her most-recent book The Adventures of a Lottery Winner for inclusion in around 50,000 children's on-board goodie bags.
Born in Nelson, Lancashire, Townson was brought up in the Pendle valley.
She attended Accrington High School and then studied English at the University of Leeds.
Her final release, two years before her death in 2010, was Deathwood Damian Strikes Again.
Hazel Townson began her writing career with Punch magazine, for which she was a regular contributor for many years.
The magazine invited her to write reviews of children's books, which would eventually lead to her writing her own material.
She also worked as Chief Assistant Librarian for part of Greater Manchester, a role that included responsibility for libraries in 110 schools, eleven public children's libraries, and four colleges.
Townson died on 11 October 2010, aged 82, of Alzheimer's disease.
She had been living in Prestwich Hills, Greater Manchester.
