Description
Anonymous children's book originally published in 1895. Some evidence that the author was Matilda Horsburgh, a little known children's author in the nineteenth century who wrote Little Hazel: The King's Messenger (1873) and Under the Old Oaks; or, Won by Love (1876). This may have been a pseudonym of Evelyn Ward Everett-Green (1856-1932), an English novelist who started her writing career with improving and pious stories for children, and later wrote historical fiction for older girls, and then adult romantic fiction.
