Her birthday was on the 23rd. (One source says it's the 24th.)
Her office is in London.
From "Contemporary Authors":
"Andrew's first series of books for children follows the adventures of a boy named Ginger and his friends--all working-class kids from a variety of ethnic backgrounds who live in the city. Ray notes in Twentieth-Century Children's Writers that, when the 'Ginger' series was first published in the 1960s, it was among the earliest 'to include black characters as an integral part of the story.' In Ginger among the Pigeons, the fourth book in the series, Ginger and his friends help old Mr. Bean protect his champion homing pigeon from a competitor who will do anything to win."
