Erick Berry (1892 – 1974)

Evangel Allena Champlin Best, better known by her pen name Erick Berry, was an American author, illustrator and editor.

Berry was born on January 4, 1892, in New Bedford, Massachusetts. She was married at least twice, the second time to fellow writer Herbert Best. She derived her pen name from her interest in Eric Pape and the surname of her first husband.

Berry published many children’s books from the 1930s to the ’60s, and worked as an author, illustrator, and editor. Perhaps the most popular book she wrote was 1933’s Winged Girl of Knossos, which she also illustrated. It won a Newbery Honor in 1934. In that year, Anne Dempster Kyle’s The Apprentice of Florence, illustrated by Berry, won the same award. She also illustrated several of her husband Best’s works, one of which, Garram the Hunter: A Boy of the Hill Tribes, also won a Newbery Honor. She also edited at least one publication, Walter and Marion Havighurst’s 1949 children’s historical novel Song of the Pines.
