Ann Waldron was born in Birmingham, Alabama and grew up on Cotton Avenue in West End. She went to Hemphill Grammar School and West End High School. Ann was co-editor of her high school newspaper. She became editor of the Crimson-White, the student newspaper at the University of Alabama, from which she graduated in 1945. She attended Hudson Strode's creative writing class at the university and appeared in Blackfriars plays.  Her first job was with the Atlanta Constitution, where she was a reporter for two and a half years. It was there that she met her husband, Martin Waldron. In 1981, Martin died, and Ann went to work fulltime for Princeton as the editor of its Campaign Bulletin. Ann has four children Peter, Lolly, Thomas William, and Boojie (real name Martin Oliver Waldron III) who are all grown and married. Ann continues to write for various magazines and newspapers, reviewing children's books for the Philadelphia Inquirer every week, as she has done for 22 years.(http://www.annwaldron.com/bio.htm)
