This early work by Rachel Field was originally published in 1942 and we
are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'And
Now Tomorrow' is a best-selling novel that was adapted into a film in
1944. Rachel Lyman Field was an American novelist, Poet, and Children's
author, born in New York City, United States, on 19th September 1894.
Field went on to produce many works of both adult fiction, plays, and
children's fiction. Her most successful children's work was Hitty, the
First Hundred Years (1929), which received the Newbury Award in 1930,
for the year's "most distinguished contribution to American literature
for children." This title, along with the posthumously published Prayer
for a Child (1944), was named to the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award for being
considered to belong "On the same bookshelf" as Carroll's Alice.
