(1898 - 1985)
Richard Warren Hatch graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1918, then joined the US Naval Reserve Flying Corps. Later, he served during World War II. It was while stationed on an aircraft carrier that he came up with the idea of writing about the adventures of a very old lobster.
From 1925 to 1941, Hatch taught English at Deerfield Academy, eventually becoming head of the English Department. During the 1950s, he lectured at the Center for International Studies at MIT.
In addition to his books for children, he also wrote novels for adults set in coastal Massachusetts towns.
