Speare was haunted not only by the writer of the diary, but also by her sister, Miriam, whose adventures she made up and recorded.

 SPEARE, ELIZABETH GEORGE - Educational Paperback Association
Alden, Jr., was born in 1939, and Mary in 1942, and for a good many years I was absorbed in camping in summer and skiing in winter, in dressing dolls and making costumes and being a den mother and a Brownie leader.
In the year and a half that I spent in writing this book Kit Tyler and her imaginary family and friends came to seem very real to me, and when this book won the Newbery Medal in 1959 I was happy to know that they had made so many friends for themselves.
Speare was awarded the Newbery Medal a second time for her third book, The Bronze Bow, published in 1961.
