Can you Guess?

I came across this quote about a famous children's author and thought it was so beautifully written.  Who do you think this is about?  Send in your guess by Thursday, January 19th to be put in a drawing for an ice cream treat.  Winner to be announced Friday, January 20th.

"Sam was struck in the funny bone.  Burdened with literary imagination and originality, he grew up to snatch the dust covers and embroidered antimacassars off the novels of the day.  He changed literature forever.  He scraped earth under its fingernails and taught it to spit.  He slipped in a subversive American sense of humor.  He made laughing out loud as respectable as afternoon tea."
