Jerome Beatty Jr

Jerome Beatty Jr

Jerome Beatty Jr. (December 9, 1916 — 2002) was a 20th-century author of children's literature. He was also an accomplished feature writer for magazines.

Popular books

Arguably, Beatty's most popular works are the Matthew and Maria Looney books, a science fiction series for children. Matthew and Maria Looney are a brother and sister who live on the Moon, part of an alien civilization of people who, as it turns out, are a lot like us Earthlings. The series was first published in the early 1960s, at the dawn of the Space Age, and is clearly influenced by that era.
