Alice Crew Gall and Fleming H. Crew
Of their
work, the Mrs. Gall and Mr. Crew wrote, "We are brother and sister....
Like most boys and girls, we loved the out-of-doors and were fond of taking
hikes into the nearby woods and fields or along the banks of the small streams
that flow down to the river.... It was on these hikes that we learned to know
the small wild creatures [and] learned to love them too. [We] decided that it
would be fun to write about them. And it has been fun, even more fun than we
thought. For each book...has arried us back in memory to the time when, as children,
we saw these creatures making their nests and burrows and living their lives...."
