Autorenporträt
Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade (1860–1936) was a productive American author of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, recognized for her contributions to children's literature, particularly in the domain of multicultural and educational works. With a literary output poignant for its time, Wade authored several books under the 'Little Cousin' series, designed to introduce young readers to different cultures and countries through the eyes of children their own age. These books, including 'Our Little Turkish Cousin' (1904), were infused with both factual information and empathetic storytelling, providing a window into the everyday lives and customs of children from diverse backgrounds. This approach exemplified Wade's commitment to promoting cultural understanding and tolerance during an era when such values were not as commonly embraced or taught. Wade's work was distinguished by a blend of warm narrative voice and keen attention to cultural detail, illustrating her dedication to accurate representation and educational enrichment. Her contributions to children's literature have been valued by educators and remain noteworthy examples of early intercultural education in American literature.
