Zenna Henderson
1917-1983



Zenna Chlarson Henderson was born on November 1, 1917 in the Tucson, Arizona area. She graduated from Arizona State in 1940 with a Bachelors degree in education and worked as a teacher in Arizona throughout her life. She died on May 11, 1983, at the age of 65, in Tucson.

I don't know when or how I ended up with a copy of "Pilgrimage," it may have belonged to one of my older sisters - an English assignment, perhaps - you'd be surprised how many times I read the books that were required reading for my older siblings.  Anyways, I was completely enchanted.  Dated, a tad, sure, but her insight into human character and motivation is masterful.  I've always wished "The People" were real.
