Edith Nesbit (married name Edith Bland) (1858-1924) was an English author and poet whose children s works were published under the androgynous name of E. Nesbit. She wrote or collaborated on over 60 books of fiction for children, several of which have been adapted for film and television. She started a new genre of magical adventures arising from everyday settings and has been much imitated. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, a precursor to the modern Labour Party. Nesbit s books for children are known for being entertaining without turning didactic, although some of her earlier works, notably Five Children and It (1902) and even more so The Story of the Amulet (1906), veer in that direction. Among Nesbit s best-known books are The Story of the Treasure Seekers (1898), The Wouldbegoods (1899) and The Railway Children (1906). Other works include The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904), The Enchanted Castle (1907) and The Magic City (1910).

Henry Milner Rideout (1877-1927) was a native of Calais, Maine. In 1895 he entered Harvard University and became Editor-in-Chief of The Harvard Monthly. By 1903 The Atlantic Monthly had accepted two of his short stories, giving him hope of earning his living by his pen. He travelled for six months in the Far East. When his final jute-reports were filed, he returned via Europe, and settled down in central California to begin an all-out effort to write novels for a living. Author of sixteen novels, twenty-three short stories and novellas, and a biographical memoir, he also was editor of one college textbook, as well as co-editor of three others. Many of his stories appeared in The Saturday Evening Post. His early works include: Beached Keels (1906), Admiral's Light (1907), The Siamese Cat (1907), Dragon's Blood (1909), The Twisted Foot (1910), White Tiger (1915) and The Far Cry (1916). His fictional heroes were country people and working men. The heroine of his novel, Barbry (1923), was an indentured servant girl. His last published work was an adventure story, Lola the Bear (1928), set in the Maine woods.
