Sheena Porter (born 1935) is a British author of children's novels. She won the 1964 Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising ''Nordy Bank'' as the year's best children's book by a British subject.〔 Sheena Porter has worked as a librarian in Leicester, Nottingham and Shropshire, and currently lives in Ludlow. Her work is particularly notable for its atmosphere and characterization. It has a feeling for landscape, often portraying actual places, especially in the high country of the Welsh Marches, such as Nordy Bank, and the Long Mynd in ''The Knockers''.〔Marcus Crouch, ''The Nesbit Tradition: The Children's Novel in England 1945–1970'', Ernest Benn, 1972, pp. 155–56.〕 She also weaves the history and folklore of the region into her narratives.〔 ==Selected works== *''The Bronze Chrysanthemum'' (1961), illustrated by Shirley Hughes *''Hills and Hollows'' (1962), illus.
