Biographical
Sketch
Erik Christian Haugaard was born April 13, 1923 in Frederiksberg,
Denmark. He came to the United States in 1940 after fleeing the Nazi invasion
of Denmark, and later served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War
II. In 1963 he published his first book for children and young adults,
Hakon of Rogen's Saga. The story told of a young
boy's struggle to protect his inheritance and was set at the end of the Viking
period. The book was well received by readers and critics and was a recipient
of an American Library Association (ALA) Notable Book Award. Erik Christian
Haugaard has been praised by critics as a "master storyteller" with a strong
"sense of time, place, and character." His books "present young people in
wartime settings" where they must make complicated and difficult decisions and
his historical fiction "vividly" portrays "the horrors of war." Haugaard's work
have also been lauded for how he "captures the language and speech patterns
that admirably suit [the] background and characters" of his stories. He has
also received recognition for his 1978 translation of The
Complete Fairy Tales and Stories of Hans Christian Andersen, which was
widely praised for his "faithfulness to Andersen's language and spirit."
