==Background==
Elizabeth and her two sisters were born and raised by atheist parents in a household where religion was often debated. They spent their childhood living in various small towns in New Zealand, including Pomare, Wadestown, Waikanae and Paremata.〔 She later published a trilogy of novels that were influenced by her childhood experiences of living near Wellington.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Elizabeth Knox )〕 Elizabeth had difficulties with writing when she was young because she was slightly dyslexic.〔
Knox had always enjoyed inventing stories as a child. When she was eleven she created an oral narrative history with her younger sister Sara and its characters and plot evolved based on their input along with the input of their older sister Mary and their friend Carol. It became an elaborate paracosm with many characters and intricate plotlines and involvements. When she was sixteen Elizabeth's father overheard a discussion between her, her sisters and Carol regarding the consequences of a secret treaty set in their imaginary world and he remarked that he hoped they were writing this down.〔 Following this they all tried "writing stories about, letters between, and poems by their characters"〔 and Elizabeth enjoyed it so much that she decided she would like to be a writer.
