Early life and family

Evelyn Mary Breakell was born in Preston, Lancashire, England, on 14 September 1906.[1] She worked as a primary school teacher from 1927 to 1931,[2] when she married Arthur Sutton at Christ Church, Fulwood, Preston.[3] In 1949, the family migrated to New Zealand,[2] and Eve Sutton became a naturalised New Zealand citizen in 1955.[1]

Writing career

Sutton's first children's book, My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes, was written after her cousin by marriage, Lynley Dodd, suggested that they collaborate on a book; Sutton wrote the text and Dodd provided the illustrations.[2][4] Now regarded as a New Zealand classic, it was Sutton's only picture book, and it received the Esther Glen Award in 1975.[2][4]

Subsequently, Sutton went on to write books for older children, including a series of novels about the experiences of immigrants to New Zealand.[2] In 1990, she was awarded the New Zealand Children's Literature Association's Award for Services to Children's Literature.[5]

Death

Sutton died on 19 December 1992, and her body was cremated at Purewa Crematorium, Auckland.[6]
