She was born in Boston and raised in New York City. She studied folklore and storytelling at Columbia University. A number of Sawyer's books are autobiographical accounts of her childhood, and reveal an interesting perspective on American life at the end of the 19th century. Sawyer also wrote non-autobiographical novels for children, such as The Enchanted Schoolhouse and The Year of the Christmas Dragon, as well as a scholarly work, The way of the Storyteller (1942). She published a number of collections of folktales, such as This Way to Christmas (which featured an illustration by a young Norman Rockwell) and My Spain: A Storyteller's Year of Collecting (1967). She may be best known as the author of Roller Skates, which won the 1937 Newbery Medal. In 1965, she was awarded the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal. Sawyer first saw Spain through Washington Irving's eyes. Later she went in search of her own Spain. And fell in love- with the country and with its people. She gathered stories of Spain for American children to enjoy. More
