Linda Smith (novelist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linda Smith (1949-2007[1]) was a Canadian writer.

Born in Lethbridge, Alberta, she obtained a B.A. with Distinction from the University of Calgary and then a Bachelor of Library Science degree from the University of Alberta. Later she acquired a Master's Degree in Children's Literature from Simmons College in Boston, and it was there that she took a writing for children course. Smith wrote primarily for children and young adults, and her books benefited from her years of experience as a children's librarian and her love of children's literature. She published two linked fantasy trilogies aimed at upper elementary and junior high readers, The Freyan Trilogy, and The Tales of Three Lands Trilogy, and wrote two books for younger readers: a picture book,Sir Cassie to the Rescue, and a beginning chapter book called Kelly's Cabin. In addition, several of her short stories were published in magazines such as On Spec, or read on CBC Radio's Alberta Anthology program.
