John Reynolds Gardiner

Biography

John Reynolds Gardiner (1944–2006), who described himself as an “author, engineer, inventor, rock-and-roll singer, door-to-door salesman, songwriter, and Santa Claus,” traveled widely throughout his life. Born in California, he lived in Ireland, Germany, Italy, El Salvador, England, and Mexico. He heard the legend that inspired Stone Fox while in Idaho and it became his first published work. His other works include How to Live a Life That’s Not Boring.

Reviews

“Gardiner’s description of the race and sudden climax (based on legend) is fast-paced and enveloping.” — School Library Journal

“A superb piece of storytelling-without doubt the most exciting and moving book this season.” — The New Yorker
