Ilil Arbel
Ilil Arbel was born in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Her parents were Dr.
Arie (Leibek) Rosenfeld, an oral surgeon, and Yehudit (Ida)
Wissotzky-Rosenfeld, the daughter of the Russian-Israeli writer
Dr. Avraham Wissotzky, whose books include Tel-Aviv and
Green Flame. Arbel received her B.A. (Fine Arts Illustration)
from École Supérieure Des Arts Modernes in Paris, and her
M.A. and Ph.D. (Mythology and Folklore) from Westbrook
University in New Mexico. She also engaged in studying diverse
subjects, including indexing courses at USDA Graduate School
in Washington D.C., graduate certification courses for business
writing at New York University, a certificate program in
horticulture at Penn State Agricultural College, and a certificate
program in fiction and nonfiction writing for children at the
Institute of Children Literature in Connecticut. Ilil Arbel is the
author of a number of books (see list). Her short stories and
folktales were published by Mountain Muse, Amazon Shorts and
Encyclopedia Mythica. She had contributed numerous articles on
the subjects of natural history, personal histories, biography,
health, education, social commentaries, and Judaic myths to
many publications.
“It is of major interest to readers of the works of Thirkell and
Anthony Trollope!”
Valerie Constand, World Art Celebrity Journal
“… After forty years of silence, the book gives new life to
Barsetshire. It is going to be extremely well received, there is no
doubt of that, so I expect Miss Arbel to write additional
Barsetshire novels, hopefully creating a body of work of her
own. A whole new era is opening up! Therefore, for readers of
1
Trollope and Thirkell, or for anyone who truly loves English
literature, Miss Glamora Tudor! is a major literary event.”
Maximillien de Lafayette, International News Agency
“The author of Miss Glamora Tudor!, Ilil Arbel, lives in New
York and is certainly not from the United Kingdom, but behold a
miracle! Despite these facts she can use our language! She
elegantly weaves her way between the speech of the upper
classes, the lower classes, and the Americans that appear in the
book, with great style and seemingly with ease. Truth is, she
sounds exactly like Angela Thirkell, not an easy task.”
Nigel Huntington, International Herald Daily News
“Many devoted readers of the Barsetshire saga expressed their
wish to see fresh material about their favorite little corner of the
world. In addition, Glamora Tudor had never been on stage in
the Thirkell body of work, but she had been imagined by every
reader!”
Esther O. Perez, Town & Village
