About the author

Elyne Mitchell was born Sibyl Elyne Chauvel on 30 December 1913 Melbourne, Victoria. She was an Australian author, and her most popular and well-known books are the Silver Brumby series of children's novels. She was educated at St Catherine's School, Toorak. She married lawyer, and later parliamentarian, Thomas Walter Mitchell, and moved with him to the mountains. He taught her to ski, and they had four children. Elyne was a keen skier and horsewoman. The Silver Brumby series arose from Mrs Mitchell's difficulties in finding suitable reading material for her youngest daughter who was then 10 and being raised in some isolation on the Mitchell family property Towong Hill, a remote cattle station in the Snowy Mountains.

Elyne Mitchell was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia OAM for services to literature in 1988, and in 1993, Charles Sturt University awarded her an Honorary Doctorate of Letters. She also won Children's Book Council awards. She often illustrated her work with her own photographs. She died on 4 March 2002 in Corryong, Victoria.
