She undertook a secretarial course before finding work at Fox Films and then at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Ltd until her marriage to Leslie Pownall in December 1929. The couple were to have two children.[2] She began to review children's literature for Australasian Book News and Literary Journal, and later began writing children's fiction and non-fiction of her own. She was awarded an MBE in 1977 and was the first recipient of the Lady Cutler award for distinguished service to children’s literature in New South Wales.[2] Pownall was a founding member of the Children's Book Council of Australia (1945) and was associated with the Council for the rest of her life. The Children’s Book Council presents the annual Eve Pownall Award for Information Books in her honour.[1] Pownall died at her home in Forestville in 1982.[2] BibliographyChildren's fiction
