عن المؤلف

Amy Ella Blanchard (1854-1926) was an American writer of children’s literature. Her first poem was published when she was 16 years old in a Salem newspaper, but it was not until 1893 that she obtained her first success with her stories. Blanchard was a lifelong companion of her artist collaborator Ida Waugh. They lived together in Philadelphia and New York City, their homes a gathering place for authors. In 1906 Blanchard moved to Washington, D.C. where she became a popular writer of girls’ books.
