Biographical Sketch

Paul Goble was born September 27, 1933, in Haslemere, Surrey, England. His interest in Native American legends began when he was a small boy in England, where his mother read the books of Grey Owl and Ernest Thompson Seton to her sons. After training at the Central School of Art and Design in London, Goble worked in industrial design for 18 years before becoming a full time author and illustrator of children's books. His goals are to share the Native American respect and rapport with nature, and to retell traditional Native American legends, especially the legends of the Plains tribes, Sioux, Blackfoot and Cheyenne. Among other awards and honors he earned the 1979 Caldecott Medal for The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses.
