From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Natalie Savage Carlson (October 3, 1906 - September 23, 1997) is an award-winning American author of children's books. Carlson was born in Kernstown, Virginia. She is of French Canadian descent, and worked many old family stories and folktales into early books like The Talking Cat and Other Stories of French Canada (1952) [1]. Carlson published her first story at age 8 on the children's page of the Baltimore Sunday Times [2]. She is perhaps best remembered for her book The Family Under the Bridge (1958), which won a Newbery Honor in 1959 [3]. In 1966, Carlson was the American nominee for International Children's Book Day, also known as the Hans Christian Anderson International Children's Book Award [4].
