Synopsis
Into her late thirties and with children of her own, E.L. Konigsburg saw a need for books that included characters with which children could identify. She left her career in chemistry and began writing children's' books, winning the Newbery Medal and the Newbery Honor in 1968-the only children's writer to win both awards in the same year. This fascinating book relates how she came to create Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley and Me, Elizabeth, From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, and other stories loved by her many fans.Book Details
