1908. Illustrated. Prolific writer of children's books, she is credited with pioneering American writing of nonsense verses for children, but she received the Pulitzer Prize for a biography of her mother, Julia Ward Howe, a social reformer who wrote the words to the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The book begins: If I'm not mistaken, said Calvin Parks, this is the ro'd where Sam and Sim used to live! He checked his horse and looked about him. And there-well, I'm blowed if that ain't the house now. Same old pumpkin-color; same old well-sweep; same old trees; it certainly is the house. Well!
