- Anne Terry White was born to Aaron and Sarah Terry in Ukraine, and emigrated with her family to the USA when she was eight years old. She grew up and attended school in New England, graduated from Brown University, and received a master's degree from Stanford University. In 1918, she married Harry D. White, with whom she had two daughters. She held positions as a teacher and social worker, but is best known as the author of nonfiction books for children. Her "All About" series of books on natural science, geography, and geology were considered among the best of their kind for very young readers. Lost Worlds, a history of the discovery of Troy, the palace of Minos on Crete, the tomb of King Tutankhamen, and other sites, was reprinted more than two dozen times by the 1980s. She also translated numerous Russian stories, including works by Pushkin and old stories from oral tradition. She also wrote fictionalized biographies of prominent figures ranging from George Washington Carver to William Shakespeare, King David of ancient Israel, and Eugene V. Debs.
