LeClaire Gowans Alger (May 20, 1898 - November 14, 1969) was an American author better known under her pseudonym Sorche Nic Leodhas, or simply Sorche Leodhas. Born in Youngstown, Ohio, she was a sickly child, eventually being homeschooled. Alger was a known librarian, working from 1915 to 1966, while the imaginary Sorche was a storyteller. She sought out traditional Scottish tales that had never been written down before. She won a Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1962 and a Newbery Honor for ''Thistle and Thyme: Tales and Legends from Scotland'' in 1963. Her book ''Always Room for One More'', illustrated by Nonny Hogrogian, won the 1966 Caldecott Medal. ==Works== Most of Leodhas' works are in collections. * ''Heather and Broom: Tales of the Scottish Highlands'' * ''Thistle and Thyme: Tales and Legends from Scotland'' * ''Gaelic Ghosts'' * ''Ghosts Go Haunting'' * ''Claymore and Kilt: Tales of Scottish Kings and Castles'' * ''Sea-Spell and Moor-Magic: Tales of the Western Isles'' * ''By Loch and By Lin: Tales from Scottish Ballads'' * ''Twelve Great Black Cats, and Other Eerie Scottish Tales'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sorche Nic Leodhas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
