After graduating from Montclair State College, New Jersey, she started work as a teacher and, though she had always wanted to be a writer, she only took it up seriously after her teaching career was abruptly interrupted by two car accidents in two days. It was an exquisite performance, and gave adults a glimpse of the lack of pomp and self-importance which enabled her to speak so directly to her readers.ĭanziger was born in Washington DC, and remained very close to her family, though she described her parents' behaviour as dysfunctional and thus useful as a reference point in her writing. Every inch a townie, she had encouraged her camera crew to record her complete unsuitability for a farm trip - from her elegant, impractical footwear to her allergic reaction to everything under the sun.
As might be expected of the author of The Sheep-Pig, which became the 1995 film Babe, he had been a farmer, so Danziger had gone to see him in the country.
