Martin Provensen

Alice Provensen and Martin Provensen were an American author-illustrator team who created children's books. There was a remarkable similarity to the couple's early histories. Both were born in Chicago, Illinois, and both moved to California when they were twelve. Both received scholarships to the Art Institute of Chicago, and both attended the University of California, though at separate campuses. After college, Alice went to work with Walter Lantz Studio, the creators of Woody Woodpecker, and Martin took work with the rival Walt Disney Studio, where he collaborated on Dumbo, Fantasia, and Pinocchio. The pair met in 1943 when Martin, working as a creator of training films for the American military, was assigned to the Walter Lantz Studio. They were married in 1944 and resettled in Washington, D.C., where they worked on war-related projects. Following the end of the war, they moved to New York City, where a friend assisted them in finding their first job, illustrating The Fireside Book of Folk Songs. In 1952, Tony the Tiger, designed by Martin, debuted as a Kellogg's mascot. Following that, they illustrated several Little Golden Books such as The Color Kittens, and in 1982, they received the Caldecott Honor Medal for their illustration of A Visit to William Blake's Inn, by Nancy Willard. They were further recognized just two years later, when they received the Caldecott Medal for A Glorious Flight, the story of aviator Louis Blériot, the first man to fly solo across the English Channel. The Provensens have been on the New York Times list of the Ten Best Illustrated Books eight times. In all, the couple wrote and illustrated more than 50 books.

Mary O'Hara

Mary O'Hara Alsop was born in Cape May Point NJ, the third child of a Reverend and his wife. She was raised in Brooklyn Heights, New York. In 1905 she married her third cousin, Kent Kane Parrot, with whom she had two children, the first of which died of skin cancer in her early teens. She divorced Parrot and went to work as a Hollywood screenwriter in the 1920s. In In 1922 she married Helge Sture-Vasa and moved with him to Wyoming. In 1930 they bought a ranch, which they renamed Remount Ranch, and stocked it with sheep. The Great Depression ended the profitability of sheep and the couple managed to get by by delivering milk in Cheyenne and breeding horses, and on O'Hara's writing income. She wrote mainly Wyoming ranch stories, and is best known for My Friend Flicka (1941), Thunderhead (1943), and Green Grass of Wyoming (1946). In 1946 O'Hara and her husband sold the ranch and purchased one in California. The following year they divorced, and O'Hara moved to Monroe CT where she continued to write. In 1968 she moved to Chevy Chase MD, where she lived until she died of arteriosclerosis.
