Jean Craighead George was an American author of more than one hundred books for children and young adults, including the Newbery Medal-winning Julie of the Wolves, the Newbery Honor Book My Side of the Mountain, and its sequel, On the Far Side of the Mountain. Common themes in George's works are the environment and the natural world. Although mostly a writer of children's fiction, she also wrote at least two guides to cooking with wild foods and an autobiography, Journey Inward.
For her lifetime contribution as a children's writer she was U.S. nominee for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1964.
