Charles Tazewell

Charles Tazewell

Charles Tazewell (June 2, 1900 – June 26, 1972) was the author of the children's book The Small One, which The Walt Disney Company adapted into the animated short of the same name in 1978. In 1939 he wrote an unproduced radio script The Littlest Angel[1], which was published in book form in 1946 and adapted as a musical TV drama for the Hallmark Hall of Fame in 1969. There was also a recording of the story made in the late 40s or early 50s. The TV version starred Johnny Whitaker, Fred Gwynne and John McGiver. His book, "The Littlest Snowman" was also adapted into a film as a segment of "Christmas Fairy Tale" (12 minutes), which can be viewed on Youtube. Previously, a shorter adaptation narrated by Bob Keeshan had been annually shown on the CBS children's daytime television show Captain Kangaroo.

Tazewell was born in Des Moines, Iowa and lived in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. His grave can be found at Lindenwood Cemetery, Stoneham (Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA).
