(she does not have a sight because she died) but here are some facts about her.

Elizabeth Enright: (1909-1968) grew up in new york in a family of artists. She spent her childhood drawing pictures and created both art and story for her first book, kintu: A Congo Adventure, published in 1935. She later decided that she preferred writing to illustrating and went on to write many enduringly popular books, including a series about the Melendy family in The Saturdays and three other novels; and two long fairy tales, Tatsinda and Zeee. She won numerous awards, including the Newbery Medal for Thimble Summer (1938) and a Newbery Honor for Gone-Away Lake (1957).
