  <about><![CDATA[Paula Fox is an American author of novels for adults and children and two memoirs. Her novel &lt;i&gt;The Slave Dancer&lt;/i&gt; (1973) received the Newbery Medal in 1974; and in 1978, she was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal. More recently, &lt;i&gt;A Portrait of Ivan&lt;/i&gt; won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis in 2008.

A teenage marriage produced a daughter, Linda, in 1944. However, given the tumultuous relationship with her own biological parents, she gave the child up for adoption. Fox later attended Columbia University, married the literary critic and translator Martin Greenberg, raised two sons, taught, and began to write.

The daughter Fox gave up for adoption, Linda Carroll, is the mother of controversial musician Courtney Love; making her Love's grandmother.
