Autor

Chloe Keighly-Peach Scott, a native of England, was sent to America at the age of fifteen on a boat early in World War II to escape the dangers of bombs and a feared invasion. She married naturalist Peter Scott when they were both nineteen, and three years later they took up residence alone together on the Audubon, a boat provided by the National Audubon Society commissioned to protect birds and other wildlife in Florida's Everglades, an adventure related in The Walking Trees. In the late 1950s she moved to Northern California with her young daughter and has since pursued careers as a choreographer, dance teacher, Feldenkrais movement therapist, and the founder of the Dymaxion Moving Company dance troupe in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now a grandmother and great-grandmother, she lives in Oregon with her daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer and John Teton.
