About the Author

Few writers have made such an impression on so many generations of readers as Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856–1923). Ms. Wiggin spent her childhood in Hollis, Maine, a place very much like Rebecca’s home. A devoted advocate for early childhood education, she, along with her sister, Nora, founded a school for kindergarten teachers, as well as the Salmon Falls Village Library, which still serves as the town library for Hollis.
