Elizabeth Jane Coatsworth (1893 1986) was an American writer of fiction and poetry for children and adults. She won the 1931 Newbery Medal from the ALA recognizing The Cat Who Went to Heaven as the previous year's "most distinguished contribution to American literature for children," among other awards. Born in Buffalo, she attended Buffalo Seminary and spent summers with her family on the Canadian shore of Lake Erie. She began traveling as a child, visiting the Alps and Egypt at age five. Coatsworth graduated from Vassar College in 1915 as Salutatorian. In 1916 she received a Master of Arts from Columbia. She then traveled in Asia. Her travels influenced her writing. In 1929, she married writer Henry Beston, lived in Hingham Mass and eventually settled in Nobleboro, Maine. One of her daughters, Kate Barnes (19322013), would be named the first Poet Laureate of Maine. The Illustrator, Marguerite Davis (18891980), was also a Vassarian, and attended the MFA School in Boston. In addition to this work, Davis is renowned for the 1927 English translation of Johanna Spyri's Heidi and many other books in 25-year career, including Christina Rossetti's Sing-Song (1924), Robert Louis Stevenen's A Child's Garden of Verses (1924), Alcott's Under the Lilacs (1928), Laura E. Richards' Tirra Lirra (1932), and Coatsworth's The Littlest House (1940). Seller Inventory # JG2411-26-BX-7-CH
