Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
E. Lockhart, the young adult pen name of Emily Jenkins, was born in New York City and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Seattle, Washington, in a household shaped by teaching and theater: her mother worked in early-childhood education and her father, Len Jenkin, was a playwright. Books arrived early as both refuge and method. By eight she was already writing, and by nine she had made and distributed a homemade book of her own. At Vassar she studied English and illustrated books, then went on to Columbia for a doctorate in 19th-century English literature, focusing on the illustrated novel and the reading public.
