About the author

Alice Dale Hardy was the name printed on the Riddle Club books, a children's mystery series published in the 1920s. Reliable book listings identify Alice Dale Hardy as a pseudonym used by Josephine Lawrence, an American writer of children's fiction.

The Riddle Club stories follow a group of young friends who solve mysteries at home, at camp, and on vacation. Their appeal comes from brisk plotting, teamwork, and a light, inviting style that made them popular with generations of younger readers.

Information about the person behind the pseudonym is limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is safest to treat Alice Dale Hardy primarily as the pen name associated with these books rather than as a separately documented public literary figure.
