Alice Hale Burnett

Alice Hale Burnett was an American author of children's books. The detail most consistently confirmed about her work is that she wrote the Merryvale books, a series set in a small town and published in the early 1900s.

Her stories are remembered for their wholesome, everyday adventures and their warm picture of childhood. Reliable biographical information about her life appears to be quite limited online, so modern readers usually know her through the books themselves rather than through a well-documented personal history.
