Genre


Born in Canada to American parents, Mrs. Noble grew up on a horse ranch, then reclaimed her American citizenship at eleven when she and her parents moved to Portland, Oregon. After studying English at the University of Oregon, she lived in California and worked as a secretary at a radio station while taking a few graduate classes at Stanford University. In 1941, she married Hollister Noble, also an author, and moved with him to New York City, where she began her free-lance career writing magazine articles and later books.

Although Ms. Noble wrote quite a few novels, she is probably most noted for her biographies for young adults. She was recognized by the Commonwealth of California in 1962 for First Ambulance Surgeon: Emily Barringer (1962).
