About the authors

Jane Taylor

1783–1824

Best remembered for writing the words that became "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," this English poet also helped shape some of the earliest popular poetry written especially for children. Her work is gentle, musical, and full of the everyday wonder that makes nursery verse last.
