Nancy Springer has published forty novels for adults, young adults and children. In a career beginning shortly after she graduated from Gettysburg College in 1970, Springer wrote for ten years in the imaginary realms of mythological fantasy, then ventured on to contemporary fantasy, magical realism, and women's fiction and suspense before turning her attention to children's literature. Her novels and stories for middle-grade and young adults range from contemporary realism, mystery/crime, and fantasy to her critically acclaimed novels based on the Arthurian mythos, I Am Mordred: A Tale of Camelot and I Am Morgan Le Fay. Springer's children's books have won her two Edgar Allan Poe awards, a Carolyn W. Field award, various Children's Choice honours and numerous ALA Best Book listings. Her most recent series include the Tales of Rowan Hood, featuring Robin Hood's daughter, and the Enola Holmes mysteries, starring the much younger sister of Sherlock Holmes.
'With nearly a decade having passed since Springer penned a case
for Enola...this is an excellent entry point for both established
fans and newcomers...Enola's voice is wholly charming, prone to
just the right bit of humorous snark and a penchant for lists.'
--Kirkus Reviews
'This latest novel continues the chronicle of this capable,
ingenious, and fiercely independent young woman.' --Booklist
'Stylishly written and briskly plotted, Enola Holmes and the Black
Barouche will scoop up movie fans looking for further adventures
with Enola.'--BookPage
