Leerie is a book by Ruth Sawyer, who is best known for her books
The Way of the Storyteller, Roller Skates, and The Wee Christmas
Cabin of Carn-na-ween. Born in Boston in 1880, Ruth Sawyer was an
American writer of children's books.. She studied folklore and
storytelling at Columbia University, where she earned a B.S. in
1904. Ruth Sawyer's first published work was The Primrose Ring in
1915, of which a movie was made in 1917 (starring Loretta Young).
Her best-known book is Roller Skates, which won her the Newbery
Medal in 1937. Like Roller Skates, a number of Sawyer's books are
autobiographical accounts of her childhood and reveal an
interesting perspective on American life at the end of the 19th
century. These include The Year of Jubilo and Daddles, The Story of
a Plain Hound-Dog. Sawyer also wrote non-autobiographical novels
for children, such as The Enchanted Schoolhouse and The Year of the
Christmas Dragon, and a scholarly work, The Way of the Storyteller.
She published a number of collections of folktales, such as This
Way To Christma s(which featured an illustration by a young Norman
Rockwell) and My Spain: A Storyteller's Year of Collecting (1967).
In 1965, Ruth Sawyer was awarded the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal for
her work.
