Biographical Sketch

Beatrice Schenk de Regniers was born in Lafayette, Indiana on August 16, 1914, and died March 1, 2000. She studied social work administration at the U of Chicago and earned her M.Ed in 1941 from Winnetka Graduate Teacher's College. After doing social work for several years she was sent to the Sinai Peninsula to a Yugoslav refugee camp, constructing a kindergarten and teaching American folk dances to the children. During the 1950s she began writing for children, and "italic">The Giant Story appeared in 1953. In addition she free-lanced articles and short humorous pieces for adults, and wrote a series of short stories and columns including some with Edna Mitchell Preston, which were published in McCall's Magazine. In 1961 she became the first editor of Scholastic Books 'Lucky Book Club,' and retired twenty years later to begin writing for the theater. Her first production appeared in 1986, based on her book "italic">Everyone Is Good for Something. She has written more than 50 children's books, earning many awards and honors.

De Regniers, Beatrice Schenk Accession Information:

Beatrice Schenk de Regniers was the author of two published books when Dr. Kerlan first noticed her work and asked her to inscribe copies for his growing collection. By the late 1960s, when the Kerlan curator approached her, she was a well-established author, and the Kerlan collection already owned the art production materials to several of her titles, received as gifts from the artists. In 1995 Ms. de Regniers made a substantial gift of manuscripts, including her first published children's book, The Way I Feel Sometimes. She also included books written under the pseudonym Tamara Kitt.
