Biography

Elaine Lobl Konigsburg (February 10, 1930-April 19, 2013) was a writer and illustrator of children's books and young adult fiction. Born in New York City in 1930, she grew up in Pennsylvania and graduated as valedictorian of her Farrell, Pa., high school. Shortly after, she met her husband, David Konigsburg, at a meatpacking plant where she worked as a bookkeeper.

She received her undergraduate degree at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University), where she majored in chemistry and continued her studies as a graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh. She soon realized that chemistry might not be the career path for her, as she is quoted as saying: "Long before I began writing, long before I had children, I was a chemist. Determined to push back the frontiers of science, I continued studying chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh graduate school. After two years there I found that the only thing I had succeeded in pushing back was my hairline, I twice blew up a laboratory sink, losing my eyebrows and banks in a flash."

She relocated to Jacksonville, Florida, after her husband was offered a job as an industrial psychologist. There, Elaine taught at the Bartram School for Girls until 1955, when she gave birth to her first child, Paul. Elaine would have two more children, Laurie and then Ross, in 1955 and 1959. While raising her children, she took painting lessons through a local adult education program.

After the family relocated again, this time to Port Chester, New York, and once all three children were in school, Elaine began to write. Her first published book was Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth in 1967, which was a Newbery Honor winner and selected byBook Week Magazine as an honor book for its 1967 Children's Spring Book Festival. This was followed, in the same year, by From, the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, which was awarded a Newbery Medal. For both, she used her children as the models for illustrations. In the 1973 film version of the book, Ingrid Bergman played the role of Mrs. Frankweiler, which was also made into a television movie in 1995, with Lauren Bacall in the same role.

Konigsburg went on to publish over 20 books. In 1997, she won a second Newbery Medal for The View from Saturday, making her one of six writers to win two Newbery Medals.

"Many of Konigsburg's stories feature childhood and adolescent struggles that are easy for school-age readers to understand. Often her characters are striving to find the answers to big questions that will help shape their identities. Many of them are based on her own experiences as a child, the observations she made of children while a teacher, and the experiences or observations of her children."

Konigsburg passed away in Falls Church, Va., on April 19, 2013.
