Anna Gertrude Hall (1882–1967) was a well known children and adolescents author. Honored with a Newbery Medal honor in 1941 for her novel, Nansen.

Anna Gertrude Hall was born in West Bloomfield, New York to Myron Edwin and Anna (Sterling) Hall. She received an A.B in 1906 from Leland Stanford Junior University. She also earned a B.L.S in 1916 from New York State Library School. Hall worked at Stanford University as a librarian and cataloger between the years of 1906 and 1962.[1][2]

She is not to be confused with Gertrude Hall (= Mrs William Crary Brownell) (1863-1961), an American poet and translator (who also wrote novels and books for children), who published from 1890 onward.[3][4]
