Kate Seredy was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1899. After studying art
throughout Europe, she served as a nurse during WWI. It wasn't until 1922
that she ventured to the United States. She found work as a commercial
illustrator, then on the suggestion of an editor wrote a
semi-autobiographical work drawing on her memories of Hungary. The book
was published in 1935 as The Good Master. Other books followed, but
she is best known for The White Stag. She did not consider herself
to be a writer, claiming that her stories were merely an excuse for making
pictures. She died in 1975.
