Emily Cheney Neville (December 28, 1919 – December 14, 1997)[1] was an American author. Her first book, It's Like This, Cat (1963), won the Newbery Medal in 1964.[2]

Personal life and education

Neville was born on December 28, 1919, in Manchester, Connecticut, to Howell and Anne Bunce Cheney, and was the youngest of her siblings.[1] She attended Oxford School in Hartford, then graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a degree in economics in 1940.[1]

Neville married Glenn Neville, a newspaperman,[3] in 1948,[1][4] and the couple had five children.[1][4] After her children were born, she took a break from writing until all her children were school aged.[1] The family lived in New York City.[3]

Neville died December 14, 1997 in Keene Valley, New York.[1][5]

Career

After graduating from Bryn Mawr College in 1940, Neville worked for the New York Daily News and the New York Daily Mirror newspapers.[3]

Her first book, It's Like This, Cat (1963), won the Newbery Medal in 1964.[2] Her other works include Berries Goodman (1965); The Seventeenth-Street Gang (1966); Traveler From a Small Kingdom (1968); and Fogarty (1969).[4]

"Her books have been praised by critics for their emphasis on realism and honest depiction of adolescent life," especially urban life.[4]

In 1976, Neville received her J.D. from Albany Law School and began a private law practice, though she continued to write, publishing The Bridge in 1988 and The China Year in 1991.[5]
