Alison Uttley was a British writer of over 100 books. She is now best-known for her children's series about Little Grey Rabbit and Sam Pig. Alice began writing to support herself and her son financially after she was widowed. Her first books were a series of tales about animals, including Little Grey Rabbit, The Little Red Fox, Sam Pig and Hare. She later wrote for older children and adults, particularly focussing on rural topics, notably in The Country Child (1931), a fictionalised account of her childhood experiences at her family farm, Castletop, near Cromford. One of her most popular works is A Traveller in Time (1939), which was turned into a five-part BBC series. Uttley was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters degree by Manchester University in 1970 in recognition of her literary work.
