Biography
Geoffrey Summerfield (1931–1991), teacher and writer, believed intensely in the vivifying power of the imagination. Much of his work as an educator and writer was devoted to making the case for nurturing imaginative awareness in children and young people. After teaching at the University of York for several years, he went on to teach in Australia, Canada, and the United States, ultimately concluding his career at New York University.
