翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク The Summer Birds ： ウィキペディア英語版 The Summer Birds ''The Summer Birds'' is a children's novel by British writer Penelope Farmer, published in 1962 by Chatto & Windus, and receiving a Carnegie Medal commendation. It is the first of three books featuring the Makepeace sisters, Charlotte and Emma,〔Anita Silvey, ed: ''Children's books and their creators'' (New York, Houghton Mifflin, 1995), p. 238.〕 These three books are sometimes known as the ''Aviary Hall'' books.() ==Background== At the age of twenty-one, Penelope Farmer was contracted for her first collection of short stories, ''The China People''. Whilst working as a teacher for the London County Council Education Department, she was approached by editor Margaret K. McElderry of Harcourt Brace to write a children's novel. Farmer took one story originally intended for ''The China People'', but which proved too long to include, writing, "It was too big an idea, too bony as a short story."〔'Penelope (Jane) Farmer'. In ''(Dictionary of Literary Biography ).''〕 This was rewritten as the first chapter of ''The Summer Birds'' (1962), her first book featuring Charlotte and Emma Makepeace.〔'Penelope Farmer' in ''Something About the Author'' 105 (1999) p. 67〕 The main settings of the book are a small village school in the South Downs in southern England, and Aviary Hall, the girls' home. According to Farmer, Charlotte and Emma, who grow up in their Grandfather Elijah's house, were originally based on her mother and her mother's sister as children, having no parents and "…having to be everything to each other," one being the responsible one, the other being rather difficult.〔'Penelope Farmer' in ''Something About the Author'' 40 (1985) p. 77〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Summer Birds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
