I was born in Melrose, Massachusetts, on November 21, 1908. I have lived all my life in New England, and though I love to travel I can't imagine ever calling any other place on earth home. Since I can't remember a time when I didn't intend to write, it is hard to explain why I took so long getting around to it in earnest. But the years seemed to go by very quickly. In 1936 I married Alden Speare and came to Connecticut. Not till both children were in junior high did I find time at last to sit down quietly with a pencil and paper. I turned naturally to the things which had filled my days and thoughts and began to write magazine articles about family living. Then one day I stumbled on a true story from New England history with a character who seemed to me an ideal heroine. Though I had my first historical novel almost by accident it soon proved to be an absorbing hobby."

Elizabeth George Speare (1908-1994) won the 1959 Newbery Medal for THE WITCH OF BLACKBIRD POND, and the 1962 Newbery Medal for THE BRONZE BOW. She also received a Newbery Honor Award in 1983, and in 1989 she was presented with the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for her substantial and enduring contribution to children's literature.

Great historical fiction is a captivating genre that transports readers to different eras and allows them to experience the past in a vivid and engaging way.

It combines the elements of history and imagination, creating a unique narrative that not only entertains but also educates.

Through the eyes of fictional characters, readers can witness significant events, encounter historical figures, and gain a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and political context of a particular time period.

Historical fiction often explores themes such as love, war, betrayal, and redemption, making it a rich and complex form of literature.

Whether it's a sweeping epic set during a major historical conflict or a more intimate portrayal of life in a bygone era, great historical fiction has the power to transport readers to another world and leave a lasting impression.

It is a genre that continues to evolve and attract new readers, as it offers a unique perspective on the past and a window into the human experience.

I really, truly enjoyed this book to an extremely high degree. In fact, I firmly believe that I likely should have awarded it a rating of 3 1/2 stars or perhaps even more.

This book holds a special place as it is a Newberry award-winning piece of literature. The Newberry award is highly regarded in the literary world, and it is a testament to the quality and excellence of this book.

The story within its pages captivated me from the very beginning and held my attention throughout. The characters were well-developed and engaging, and the plot was filled with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Overall, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is a must-read for anyone who loves great literature and wants to be transported to another world through the power of words.
