I am writing this as I am Leila Berg's son. I don't have time to edit her entry here at present. I am very much hoping that someone with genuine interest in her work and empathy with it will do so. There is already increased traffic due to her recent death. I am concerned that the current entry does not do her justice. 

 Please refer to the well-researched obituary in the Guardian (obituaries should appear soon in the Independent and Times or Times Ed soon also), and to the tribute posted by Seven Stories Archive of British Children's Literature, and to her own website:
