About the author

Elizabeth F. (Elizabeth Frances) Guptill

b. 1870

Known for lively holiday books and short plays for children, this early 20th-century American writer brought Halloween, Christmas, and schoolroom mischief to life with a brisk, playful touch. Her work was made for reading aloud and performing, which still gives it an easy charm today.
