Alvin Schwartz is known for a body of work of more than two dozen
books of folklore for young readers that explores everything from
wordplay and humor to tales and legends of all kinds. His
collections of scary stories--Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,
More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Scary Stories 3, and two I
Can Read books, In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories and
Ghosts!--are just one part of his matchless folklore
collection.
Syd Hoff has given much pleasure to children everywhere as the
author and illustrator of numerous children's books, including the
favorite I Can Read books Sammy the Seal, The Horse in Harry's
Room, and the Danny and the Dinosaur books. Born and raised in New
York City, he studied at the National Academy of Design. His
cartoons were a regular feature in the New Yorker after he sold his
first cartoon to that magazine at the age of eighteen. His work
also appeared in many other magazines, including Esquire and the
Saturday Evening Post, and in a nationally syndicated daily
feature.
