Autorenporträt
Mary Mapes Dodge (1831-1905) was an American author and editor best known for her children's literature. Born in New York City, she became a prominent figure in the literary world during the 19th century, particularly for her engaging stories that often included themes of bravery, adventure, and moral lessons. Dodge is perhaps most famous for her novel ""Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates,"" which tells the story of a Dutch boy and his sister and emphasizes values such as perseverance and family. The book has remained a beloved classic in children's literature. In addition to her novels, Dodge edited the popular children's magazine ""St. Nicholas,"" which featured stories, poems, and illustrations aimed at young readers. This platform allowed her to influence and promote children's literature during her time. Dodge's works often reflect her interest in cultural diversity, as seen in stories like ""Po-No-Kah,"" which explores Native American themes. Her legacy endures through her contributions to children's literature and her commitment to inspiring young readers.
