1926-1999

Robert E. Bell, a writer and librarian, was born and raised in Tarrant City, Alabama. His passion for literature and writing developed during his high school years, leading him to pursue an English major at Birmingham-Southern College. After serving in the US Army, Bell resumed his studies, earning a BA in English from BSC in 1950. He continued his education at Harvard University, where he obtained an AM in English in 1952. Bell worked at various libraries, including the Mobile Public Library and the Fort Worth Public Library, while simultaneously working on his novel set in Fairhope. His novel, titled The Butterfly Tree, was published in 1959. Bell later held positions in San Francisco, New Orleans, and University of California Davis, where he wrote reference works on classical mythology. In his retirement, he returned to writing fiction, and his correspondence with Mary Lois Timbes was published posthumously in 2001 as Meet Me at the Butterfly Tree.
