About the author
Ann Gladys Lloyd was an American author active in the 1920s and 1930s. Library and book records identify her as Ann Gladys Lloyd, 1889-, and show that she wrote books in several different modes rather than sticking to one lane.
Her best-known title today appears to be An Englishwoman's Adventures in the German Lines, a memoir-style account connected with the First World War. Other surviving records link her to books such as Mother Goose Dramatized (1923), Graduation Days (1926), and holiday or activity collections published by March Brothers, suggesting a practical, lively style aimed at teachers, children, and community programs.
A full biographical sketch is hard to confirm from readily available sources, so much of her personal life remains unclear. What does come through clearly is her versatility: she wrote both dramatic wartime nonfiction and cheerful material for school entertainments and seasonal celebrations.
