Stephen Gammell (born February 10, 1943) is an American illustrator of children's books. He won the 1989 Caldecott Medal for U.S. picture book illustration, recognizing ''Song and Dance Man'' by Karen Ackerman. In 1982 he was a runner-up for ''Where the Buffaloes Begin'' by Olaf Baker. Stephen Gammell grew up in Iowa. His father, an art editor for a major magazine, brought home periodicals that gave Stephen early artistic inspiration. His parents also supplied him with lots of pencils, paper, and encouragement. He is self-taught. He started his career with freelance commercial work, but became interested in children's book illustration. His first picture book was published by G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1973: ''A Nutty Business'' by Ida Chittum, featuring a "war" between squirrels and a farmer.〔("A nutty business." ) WorldCat. 15 February 2013.〕 That same year he illustrated ''The Search'' (Harper & Row, 1973), a juvenile biography of Leo Tolstoy by Sara Newton Carroll.〔("The search; a biography of Leo Tolstoy." ). WorldCat. Retrieved 15 February 2013.〕 Since then, he has illustrated nearly sixty titles. Gammell is particularly well known for the surreal, unsettling illustrations he provided for ''Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark'', a series of horror short stories by Alvin Schwartz that is still an adolescent favorite. He and his wife, photographer Linda Gammell, live in St. Paul, Minnesota. He works daily in his studio, located over a restaurant. ==Works== * 1973 ''The Search: a Biography of Leo Tolstoy'' * 1973 ''A Nutty Business'' * 1975 ''Nabby Adam's Diary'' * 1975 ''Thunder at Gettysburg'' * 1976 ''Ghosts'' * 1976 ''Meet Werewolf'' * 1977 ''A Furl of Fairy Wind'' * 1977 ''Alice Yazzie's Year'' * 1978 ''The Hawks of Chelney'' * 1978 ''Day of the Blizzard'' * 1978 ''The Ghost of Tillie Jean Cassaway'' * 1979 ''Leo Possessed'' * 1979 ''Stonewall'' * 1980 ''Terrible Things: an Allegory of the Holocaust'' * 1980 ''Blackbird Singing'' * 1981 ''Flash and the Swan'' * 1981 ''Demo and the Dolphin'' * 1981 ''Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark'' * 1982 ''Where the Buffaloes Begin'' —Caldecott Honor〔 * 1982 ''Wake Up, Bear...It's Christmas!'' * 1982 ''The Best Way to Ripton'' * 1982 ''The Story of Mr. and Mrs. Vinegar'' * 1983 ''Meet the Vampire'' * 1983 ''Git Along, Old Scudder'' * 1984 "More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" * 1984 ''The Real Tom Thumb'' * 1984 ''Once Upon McDonald's Farm'' * 1984 ''Thaddeus'' * 1985 ''Thanksgiving Poems'' * 1986 ''The Relatives Came'' * 1986 ''A Regular Rolling Noah'' * 1987 ''Old Henry'' * 1987 ''The Great Dimpole Oak'' * 1988 ''Song and Dance Man'' —Caldecott Medal〔 * 1988 ''The Old Banjo'' * 1989 ''Airmail to the Moon'' * 1989 ''Halloween Poems'' * 1989 ''Terrible Things: An Allegory of the Holocaust'' * 1989 ''Will's Mammoth'' * 1989 ''Dancing Teepees: Poems of American Indian Youth'' * 1990 ''Wing-A-Ding'' * 1990 ''Come a Tide'' * 1991 ''Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones'' * 1992 ''The Old Black Fly'' * 1993 ''Monster Mama'' * 1996 ''The Wing Shop'' * 2000 ''Twig Boy'' * 2001 ''Ride'' * 2001 ''Waiting to Waltz'' * 2001 ''The Burger and the Hot Dog'' * 2002 ''Humble Pie'' * 2003 ''Swing Around the Sun'' * 2003 ''Hey, Pancakes!'' * 2005 ''Timothy Cox Will Not Change His Socks'' * 2006 ''The Secret Science Project That Almost Ate The School'' * 2008 ''My Friend, the Starfinder'' * 2008 ''I Know an Old Teacher'' * 2009 ''How the Nobble Was Finally Found'' * 2011 ''Mudkin'' 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「Stephen Gammell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
