Eleanor Estes
A case of tuberculosis launched the writing career of Eleanor Estes, who had been working as a librarian until she had to take to her bed. While recovering, she began writing down childhood memories, memories that would translate into a series of books that captured the imagination of children for decades to come.
Born in 1906 in Connecticut as Eleanor Ruth Rosenfield, Estes won both Newbery Honors and a Medal for her books and later was honored with a certificate of Outstanding Contribution to Childrens Literature and was nominated for a Laura Ingalls Wilder Award.
Estes died in 1988.
