BookShelf - Margaret
Davidson
First thing's first, I'm going to find as much info as I can on Margaret
Davidson for those grade school students and teachers that keep contacting
me as if I were her...

Margaret Davidson is a fairly prolific writer, mostly of biographies and
non-fiction. She is perhaps most well-known for her biographical
duo: Helen Keller and Helen Keller's Teacher. I myself have
only read these two and Five True Horse Stories. I remember thinking
they were all wonderful.
This author apparently grew up and currently lives in New York with her
husband and (as all good authors must ;) her cat. (Sources: Harcourt
