Kathleen Lines
, 1902 - 1988
Kathleen Mary Lines (b. September 1902, Edmonton, Alberta) was a Canadian editor, anthologist, librarian and book critic. Lines worked with the National Book League, now the Booktrust, to compile Four to Fourteen: A Library of Books for Children (1950/1956), an annotated bibliography of books suitable for children. Her interest in myth and fable is demonstrated by other titles she edited, including The Faber Book of Magical Tales (1985), The Faber Storybook (1961, including Greek myths) and Tales of Magic and Enchantment (1966, written by Eric Kincaid). She also edited books of nursery rhymes, Lavender’s Blue (1954) and Jack and the Beanstalk (1960).
