Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Kate Seredy (10 November 1896 Budapest - 7 March 1975) was a Hungarian-born writer and illustrator of children's books, written in the English language. Born in 1896(note: some sources say 1899), in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, she served as a nurse during World War I. Kate Seredy's father, Louis Peter, was a teacher. She moved from Budapest to the United States in 1922, with an art teacher's diploma from Academy of Arts, Budapest. In 1935, she published her first book as author and illustrator, The Good Master, about two children growing up in pre-World War I Hungary, which was named a Newbery Honor book in 1936. Her 1937 novel, The White Stag was awarded the 1938 Newbery Medal for excellence in children's literature and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1959. The sequel to The Good Master, The Singing Tree was named a Newbery Honor book in 1940. When the Caldecott Honor list was created in 1971, Seredy was retroactively named a recipient for the year 1945 for her illustrations for The Christmas Anna Angel by Ruth Sawyer.
