Agnes M. Goodall

Agnes M. Goodall is credited as both the author and illustrator of Peeps at Many Lands: Portugal, published in London by Adam and Charles Black in 1909. The book presents Portugal through short, lively chapters on its history, cities, customs, and everyday life, and includes twelve full-page color illustrations by Goodall herself.

Available catalog and ebook records found during research point mainly to this one confirmed title, so only a small amount of biographical information could be verified with confidence. Based on those records, she appears to have worked in the early 1900s and combined travel writing with visual art.

For readers today, Goodall’s appeal lies in that blend of storytelling and illustration. Her book offers not just facts about Portugal, but an atmosphere of place shaped by an artist’s eye.
