About the Author
Jean Webster (1876–1916) was an American author and illustrator renowned for her witty and progressive novels that captured the spirit of early 20th-century youth and women's experiences. Born into a literary family in New York, she studied at Vassar College, where she honed her skills in writing and drawing, often incorporating her illustrations into her books. Webster's works frequently explored themes of education, independence, and social reform, reflecting her own advocacy for women's rights and orphanages. Her epistolary style brought fresh energy to storytelling, making her a beloved figure in young adult literature. Tragically cut short by illness, her legacy endures through timeless tales of personal growth and humor.
