OK A Phoenix question to begin with

Who wrote the famous children's book The Phoenix and The Carpet ?

So famous I've never heard of it.

I'll go for Edwina Currie / Curry

Never heard of it either. I'll try Fergie, although I suspect it's a little too highbrow for the author of Budgie.

J.K Rowling before she found Harry Potter fame, or perhaps a working title for one of her books?

The book was written in 1904. SHE also wrote The Railway Children.
