Annie Eliot Trumbull (March 2, 1857 - December 22, 1949) was a novelist, poet, and playwright in Hartford, Connecticut. Her life was linked with Hartford's literary Golden Age. Trumbull was born on March 2, 1857 in Hartford, Connecticut, as the daughter of James Hammond Trumbull and Sarah Robinson. When she was five years old, her parents moved to the brick residence where she lived, when not traveling, for the rest of her life. At a young age, she began writing and crafted many short stories for magazines, such as Scribner's, the Atlantic, the Outlook, New England Magazine, and Lippincott's. Contemporaries remembered her as the belle of Hartford. They also recalled that she played tennis on a court in the front yard and started a fashion for archery. Her first published story appeared in Harper's Bazaar in 1881; her first full-length book in 1889. She was also the last of the circle which intimately knew Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner.
