Biographical
Sketch
April 18, 1908, Gudrun Alcock was born in Stockholm, Sweden. After
coming to the United States, she received her B.S. at Northwestern University
in 1928. Alcock concentrated her studies in school around art, English, and
advertising. They would prove advantageous in her career choices. From
preparing layouts for Redbook to the first woman's
editor of the Chicago Sun (Times) to jet setting
around the world, Alcock channeled the experiences of her life into visceral
children's stories. She writes, "Yet the writing of books has been my happiest
accomplishment in all these years. To have held a new book in my hands and
realized that I created it was to feel deep satisfaction, even surprise."
