Wikipedia, Mar. 17, 2016 (Claire Huchet Bishop (1899-13 March 1993) was a Swiss-born American children's writer and librarian. Clare Huchet was born in Geneva, Switzerland. She attended the Sorbonne and started the first children's library in France. After marrying the American concert pianist Frank Bishop, she moved to the United States, worked for the New York City Public Library, and was an apologist for Roman Catholicism and an opponent of antisemitism. After residing in New York for 50 years Bishop returned to France and died in Paris in 1993.)
