Kate Seredy — Hungarian Writer born on November 10, 1896, died on March 07, 1975

Kate Seredy was a Hungarian-born writer and illustrator of children's books. She won the Newbery Medal once, the Newbery Honor twice, the Caldecott Honor once, and Lewis Carroll Shelf Award. Most of her books were written in English, which was not her first language. Seredy seems to be unknown in her native Hungary, despite the fact that her story of the Good Master, and the sequel set in World War I are intensely about Hungary... (wikipedia)

Kill the snake of doubt in your soul, crush the worms of fear in your heart and mountains will move out of your way.
There are hurts so deep that one cannot reach them or heal them with words.
For yesterday and for all tomorrows, we dance the best we know.
I make money using my brains and lose money listening to my heart. But in the long run my books balance pretty well.
