“I think you learn more if you are laughing at the same time.“
– Mary Ann Shaffer
During her life, Mary Ann Shaffer achieved to become an editor, starting as librarian and then seller in bookstores. She truly loved books and used to dream about her own novel to be published one day.
Mary Ann Shaffer had cancer. So in order to finish her book, Mary Ann asked her niece Annie for help. Annie, by then, was already known as the author of the children’s series “Ivy and Bean” and “The Magic Half”
“The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” became Shaffer’s first novel.
Unfortunately, Mary Ann Shaffer died in February 2008, just months before her first novel was published.
