She is now more commonly known as Martha Finley, the author of Elsie Dinsmore and it's companion books. There were 35 books relating to Elsie, the 28 of her series and the 7 of the Mildred Keith series. Mildred was a cousin of Elsie's.

Although probably her most well-known books, those formed less than a third of her works. I have - so far - read nearly fifty of Martha's books. My favorite of these is Brookside Farmhouse, or From January to December for the Little Folks, published under her pseudonym Martha Farquharson. You can read more about this book HERE.

'Til next time,
