When she was twelve, she was interned in a camp run by the  Japanese occupiers, where she wrote (with a friend) her very first book  using begged and borrowed paper. Her family moved to the Netherlands  after the war and, after studying at the Royal Academy of Art in The  Hague, Dragt became an art teacher. She published her first book in  1961, followed a year later by \u003ci\u003eThe Letter for the King\u003c\/i\u003e, which won  the Children's Book of the Year award and has been translated into  sixteen languages.
