Irmengarde Eberle
Irmengarde Eberle (November 11, 1898 – February 27, 1979) was an American editor and writer of children's and young adult books. Throughout her life, she wrote 63 children's and young adult books. In addition to her own name, she wrote under the pseudonyms Phyllis Ann Carter and Allyn Allen. Life and career Eberle was born as Louise Eberle on November 11, 1898 in San Antonio, Texas, to parents Mary Louise (née Perlitz) and Marcellus Eberle. Her mother died two months after she was born, and her father died six months later in an accident, leaving her and her two sisters. After their deaths, her and her siblings moved to the suburbs in San Antonio, where they were raised by their aunt, Anna Perlitz, and their grandmother, Frederika Romberg Perlitz.

Young Adult
A young adult is generally a person in the years following adolescence. Definitions and opinions on what qualifies as a young adult vary, with works such as Erik Erikson's stages of human development significantly influencing the definition of the term; generally, the term is often used to refer to adults in approximately the age range of 18 to 35 or 39 years. However, the term ''young adult'' is very often misused informally or in literary sense to refer to children down to ages 12 or 13 due to the category of young adult literature targeting this demographic in the lower age limit. This broad extension of ''young adult'' to minors has been greatly disputed, as they are not considered adults by the law or in any other cultures outside of religion (such as the Bar or Bat Mitzvah in Judaism), and the tradition of ''biological'' adulthood beginning at puberty has become archaic. The young adult stage in human development precedes middle adulthood.Martin BrinerErik Erikson page, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
