Alice Dalgliesh

Alice Dalgliesh was born in 1893 in Trinidad, in the British West Indies, and spent part of her childhood in England before moving to the United States as a young woman; she later became an American citizen. She trained as a teacher and taught kindergarten and elementary school for many years while beginning to write. In 1934 she became the founding editor of the children's book department at Charles Scribner's Sons in New York, where she published books by many well-known authors and illustrators, and she later served as the first president of the Children's Book Council. She wrote more than forty books for children, many of them historical. Three were runners-up for the Newbery Medal: The Silver Pencil, partly based on her own life, The Bears on Hemlock Mountain, about a boy sent over a mountain alone, and The Courage of Sarah Noble, about a girl who travels with her father to a new settlement in early Connecticut. She died in 1979.
