Biographical History
American Helene Anne Quail Hawkins (1905-2002) was a bookseller and an author of children's books. She began working for Sather Gate Bookshop in 1931 and eventually became head of the adult and juvenile departments. From 1954 to 1961 she worked in sales for the University of California Press before returning to Sather Gate Bookshop as a consultant on library services and book fairs. Hawkins encouraged now-famous authors, such as Ursula K. Le Guin and Beverly Cleary, to pursue writing careers. Among her own books are A puppy for keeps (1943), The aunt-sitter (1958), and her retelling of Androcles and the lion (1970). In 1963 Hawkins also wrote material on children's literature for the Encyclopedia Britannica.
