Om forfatteren

RUTH STILES GANNETT wrote My Father's Dragon just a few years after her graduation from Vassar College in 1944. It was an immediate success, becoming a Newbery Honor Book, and was soon followed by two sequels, Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland. In November 2022, My Father's Dragon became an animated movie on Netflix. An active supporter of child-friendly education, women’s rights, the environment and peace, today she lives on a farmhouse in Trumansburg, mother of seven daughters and grandmother of eight grandchildren.
