Frances Clarke Sayers : ウィキペディア英語版 | Frances Clarke Sayers Frances Clarke Sayers (September 4, 1897 – June 24, 1989) was an American children's librarian, author of children's books, and lecturer on children's literature. In 1999, ''American Libraries'' named her one of the "100 Most Important Leaders We Had in the 20th Century".〔Leonard Kniffel, Peggy Sullivan, Edith McCormick, "100 of the Most Important Leaders We Had in the 20th Century," ''American Libraries'' 30, no. 11 (December 1999): 43.〕 == Biography == Frances Clarke was born on September 4, 1897 in Topeka, Kansas to parents Oscar Lincoln Clarke and Marian Busby.〔 When she was a child she moved with her family to Galveston, Texas, which would later prove to be a great source of inspiration for her numerous children’s books. In an essay published in the September 15, 1956 edition of ''Library Journal'', she reminisces about a woman telling her the story of the Gingerbread Man. Sayers states that, "I cannot recall her name, but her eyes were brown, her hair the exact shade of her eyes, she was short and plump, and I would know her voice were I even to hear it in paradise."〔Sayers, Frances Clarke, and Marjeanne Jensen Blinn. ''Summoned by Books: Essays and Speeches by Frances Clarke Sayers''. New York: Viking Press, 1965〕
