Autorenporträt
Elbridge Streeter Brooks was an American author, editor, and critic, best known for his works of historical fiction and nonfiction aimed at children. Born on April 14, 1846, in Lowell, Massachusetts, he grew up with a passion for storytelling and a strong interest in history, which shaped much of his later writing. Brooks's works often focused on historical figures and events, designed to both educate and entertain young readers. He is particularly remembered for his books on notable American figures, such as The True Story of Christopher Columbus (1892) and The True Story of George Washington (1895). These works were part of his broader effort to instill a sense of patriotism and national pride in the youth of his time. Brooks's writing was accessible, with clear narratives that brought historical events and figures to life for younger audiences. In addition to his literary career, Brooks worked as an editor and critic, contributing to various publications. He was married to Hannah-Melissa Debaun. Brooks passed away on January 7, 1902, in Somerville, Massachusetts, at the age of 55, leaving behind a legacy of works that continue to be appreciated for their educational value and engaging storytelling.
