She also enjoyed walks in Kingston with her grandmother - she now lives in the pretty house that her grandmother chose as her favourite - and remembers exploring the Surrey countryside with her father Harry.
It's so lovely being in this area - in three quarters of an hour you can be in such gorgeous countryside. During that time, she championed the art of reading aloud to children, and encourages parents to spend even just a few minutes a day reading with their families.
The pair discussed the idea on the way back from an event in Richmond and Wilson has supported it ever since. It's lovely that Kingston University and Borders support it too. This year, however, with her ever growing audience, she will be appearing at the bigger venue of Kingston's Rose Theatre see details above.
The theatre has staged several adaptations of her work, to great acclaim. As a teenage journalist, she worked on the children's magazine Jackie in Dundee. She wrote her first novel when she was nine and her first book, Hide and Seek, was published in Tracy is a scamp who has to overcome many problems as she lives in a children's home after a succession of foster homes.
Her story continues in The Dare Game and there have been five television series featuring Tracy. Its heroines, Ruby and Garnet, are identical ten-year-old twins, who are learning to cope with the changes in their lives after their dad gets a new girlfriend. The Illustrated Mum is Dame Jacqueline's favourite of her 90 books. The mum, Marigold, is covered in tattoos and was inspired by a woman the author spotted in the street.
Her books are beautifully illustrated and usually feature the comic-like illustrations of artist Nick Sharratt. Dame Jacqueline has also written five crime novels for adults, a Totally Jacqueline Wilson handbook and readers can learn more about her Kingston childhood in last year's autobiography for children, Jacky Daydream. My favourite Surrey High days and holidays were always sources of tension.
One Christmas Day, I remember he did the classic thing of throwing the turkey across the kitchen floor. Her parents would provoke each other, sometimes starting an argument just because they were bored. At other times they deliberately put her in the middle of their rows. She did find it stressful. Although she could very easily lose herself in a book when she was a child, she struggled to do so during moments of high tension.
I think slightly dysfunctional families are actually more common than people realise. Children have to be adaptable a lot. Wilson was deeply affected by the tensions. She developed a nervous cough and sucked her thumb.
