Though I had my first historical novel almost by accident it soon proved to be an absorbing hobby."Įlizabeth George Speare (1908-1994) won the 1959 Newbery Medal for THE WITCH OF BLACKBIRD POND, and the 1962 Newbery Medal for THE BRONZE BOW. Then one day I stumbled on a true story from New England history with a character who seemed to me an ideal heroine. I turned naturally to the things which had filled my days and thoughts and began to write magazine articles about family living. Not till both children were in junior high did I find time at last to sit down quietly with a pencil and paper. In 1936 I married Alden Speare and came to Connecticut. But the years seemed to go by very quickly.
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. 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.
