Aino Pervik (born 22 April 1932 in Rakvere) is an Estonian children's writer, and translator. [1]
She is "considered the bravest children's writer" in contemporary Estonia, as "she takes on difficult themes of immigration, cultural conflict, corruption, and the loss of cultural identity". [2]
Pervik began her schooling at Järvakandi Factories in 1939, continued in 1946–1950 in Tallinn, and graduated from Tartu State University in 1955 with a degree in Finno-Ugric philology. Pervik has lived in Tallinn since 1955. She worked at the Estonian State Publishing House as an editor of children’s and young-adult literature, and at the Eesti Televisioon (ETV) studio as an editor of programs for the same age group. Since 1967, she has been a freelance writer and translator from Hungarian. [3]
Aino Pervik was married to writer Eno Raud who died in 1996; their children are scholar and author Rein Raud, musician and writer Mihkel Raud and children's writer and illustrator Piret Raud.
