Elizabeth Arthur

Elizabeth Arthur is the daughter of Robert Arthur, the creator of The Three Investigators mystery series for young people. She is the author of five literary novels (Beyond the Mountain, Bad Guys, Binding Spell, Antarctic Navigation, and Bring Deeps) and two memoirs (Island Sojourn and Looking for the Klondike Stone.) Her books have been published by Harper and Row, Doubleday, Knopf, and Bloomsbury U.K. Arthur has received fellowships and grants from the Bread Loaf Writer's Conference, the Vermont Council on the Arts, the Ossabaw Island Project, and the Indiana Arts Commission. She twice received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and was the first novelist ever given an Antarctic Artists and Writers Operational Support Grant from the National Science Foundation. Her novel Antarctic Navigation was chosen by the New York Times as a Notable Book. In 2018 Arthur set out to conceive and co-write a rebooted, contemporary Three Investigators series – consisting of twenty-six new books – working with her husband Steven Bauer. The first three books will be published by Hollow Tree Press on March 3, 2025, and the last two will be published on March 3, 2027, with the others due to be published in groups of three on the third day of every third month in between.
