Jeanne Birdsall
From the author:
I grew up in the suburbs west of Philadelphia, where I
attended wonderful public schools. I had lots of great
teachers, but my favorites were: Mrs. Corkhill, sixth
grade, who encouraged my intellectual curiosity; Mr.
Tremonte, eighth grade algebra, who taught me to love and
respect math (Skye would have adored him!); and Miss
Basehore, second and fourth year Latin, to whom I (and Mr.
Penderwick) will be forever grateful. Although I first decided to become a writer when I was ten
years old, it took me until I was forty-one to get started.
In the years in between, I had many strange jobs to support
myself, and also worked hard as a photographer, the kind
that makes art. Some of my photographs are included in the
permanent collections of museums, including the Smithsonian
and the Philadelphia Art Museum. My work can be seen in
several galleries, including the R. Michelson Galleries in
Northampton, Massachusetts. My home now is with my husband in western Massachusetts.
Our house is old and comfortable, full of unruly animals,
and surrounded by gardens.
