Betsy Byars Op deze pagina: Biografie Profiel Boeken Bekroningen ... Meer informatie Geboortedatum: 7 augustus 1928 Geboorteplaats: Charlotte, North Carolina, Verenigde Staten Contactadres: Betsy Byars 126 Riverpoint Drive Clemson, SC 29631 USA Biografie: Betsy Byars werd als Betsy Cromer geboren. Ze wilde wiskunde gaan studeren, maar ze zakte en ging daarom Engels doen. Ze trouwde in 1950 met Ed Byars; ze kregen 4 kinderen. In 1956 begon ze voor tijdschriften te schrijven en in 1962 werd haar eerste boek gepubliceerd. In 1983 haalde ze haar vliegbrevet, en tegenwoordig wonen Betsy en haar man (die ook piloot is) vlakbij een vliegveld. Profiel: De boeken van Betsy Byars zijn realistisch en humoristisch. Vaak haalt ze haar inspiratie uit de dingen die om haar heen gebeuren, de dingen die om haar heen gebeuren, met haarzelf, haar kinderen, of haar huisdieren. De hoofdpersonen in haar boeken zijn meestal een beetje apart: ze hebben een rijke fantasie, ze zijn eenzaam, ze worden gepest. Door een schokkende gebeurtenis verandert er wat. Ze overwinnen hun angst, ze komen wat meer in de werkelijkheid te staan, ze leren zichzelf te accepteren. De laatste jaren schrijft Betsy Byars series: over de excentrieke maar hechte familie Blossom, en over Bingo Brown die de liefde ontdekt. Boeken: De achttiende ramp (Kosmos) De zwanenzomer (Kosmos) Het huis met de vogels (Kosmos) Het gevleugelde veulen (Kosmos) De dag van de geitenman (Kosmos / 3e druk 1978) De tv-vriend (Kosmos) Bange de Lange (Kosmos / 2e druk 1990)

Online Store Language Arts: Novel Guides Home Language Arts Novel Guides Author Profiles Betsy Byars Betsy Byars began her writing career rather late in life. "In all of my school years, . . . not one single teacher ever said to me, 'Perhaps you should consider becoming a writer,'" Byars recalls. "Anyway, I didn't want to be a writer. Writing seemed boring. You sat in a room all day by yourself and typed. If I was going to be a writer at all, I was going to be a foreign correspondent like Claudette Colbert in Arise My Love. I would wear smashing hats, wisecrack with the guys, and have a byline known round the world. My father wanted me to be a mathematician." So Byars set out to become mathematician, but when she couldn't grasp calculus in college, she turned to English. Even then, writing was not on her immediate horizon. First, she married and started a family. The writing career didn't emerge until she was 28, a mother of two children, and living in a small place she called the barracks apartment, in Urbana, Illinois. She and her husband, Ed, had moved there in 1956 so he could attend graduate school at the University of Illinois. She was bored, had no friends, and so turned to writing to fill her time. Since that time, Byars has written more than 45 books for young readers and has won numerous awards. Among them are the Newbery Medal, which she received in 1971 for

16. Fall 1997 Indepth looks at the elements in byars' literature. http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/ALAN/fall97/schaefer.html

Editors: James Blasingame James.Blasingame@asu.edu Lori A. Goodson LAGoodson@aol.com Fall 1997 Volume 25, Number 1 Betsy Byars: Techniques and Themes Judith Callaway-Schaefer Betsy Byars is a prolific author of children's books, who began writing in the 1960s and has continued until the present. She has written about forty books, the most recent one being Tornado. Byars is popular: her books are sought in school libraries, and The Summer of the Swans won the Newbery Award in 1971. Although all of Byars' writing is fiction for children and young adults, it can arbitrarily be divided into three categories: (1) the fiction before the mid-1980s, all of which seems at least wistful (The Midnight Fox) if not downright somber (The Cartoonist). A subdivision of this category would be the books that use animals as a major part of the story. These first writings have the widest range of appeal as they are more realistic than the books after this time, and some even have great appeal for adults; (2) the cheerful recent books (the Bingo series, Coast to Coast, the Blossom series, etc.) for children 10 to 14 years old; (3) the novels written for beginning readers (the Golly Sisters series).

This book was reviewed by Carol Otis Hurst in Teaching K-8 Magazine Review With a light and humorous touch, Ms. Byars tells of the way she writes her books. Throughout the account, she also tells of her relationship with a snake, Moon, which she found near her cabin. Her need to learn more about snakes in general and Moon in particular became an obsession that, for a brief time, dominated her existence. That obsession, the reasons for it, and the ways in which she conducted her research are so interesting and helpful that you want to read the brief book aloud at the outset of a research project.
