Autorenporträt
Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin (1856-1923) was an American educator and author widely known for her endearing children's stories and for her efforts in the arena of children's education. Born in Philadelphia and later settling in California, Wiggin's literary career began after establishing the first free kindergarten in San Francisco. She channeled her experiences and insights from her work with children into her writing, creating stories that resonated with warmth, humor, and a deep understanding of young minds. One of her lesser-known works, 'A Village Stradivarius' (1903), showcases Wiggin's versatility in crafting tales that echo the quaint charm and simplicity of rural life, albeit with less widespread acclaim than her seminal novel 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm' (1903). Her narratives commonly weave the innocence of childhood with the subtleties of adult life, reflecting a style that appeals to audiences across ages. Wiggin's contribution to literature is mirrored by her pioneering role in education, and she remains celebrated for her profound influence on children's literature at the turn of the 20th century.
