Banks' best known work has received both awards and criticism for its story of a young boy who brings an 18th century Native American to life
Lynne Reid Banks has died. A prolific author of books for both children and adults, Banks was best known as the writer of The Indian In The Cupboard and its various sequels—which, despite coming under increased scrutiny for their attitudes toward race and gender over the years, have been a long-time mainstay of children’s fiction ever since the first book was published back in 1980.
After marrying artist Chaim Stephenson, Banks moved with him to Israel for several years, where she taught on a kibbutz and eventually became a citizen.
