Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote
The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it
would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car-just as the
Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote
more books-a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other
authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie,
Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children series has
more than one hundred books.
Anthony VanArsdale was born and raised near the beaches of south
Alabama and to this day enjoys the warm southern temperatures of
the Gulf Coast. He has worked as a professional illustrator since
2004, combining traditional and digital media to create
illustrations with a "stylized realism." Among his favorite
subjects to paint are animals, people, and illustrations that
reflect the natural setting of his home.
