author
Remembered today mainly for a small cluster of late-19th-century books, this little-known writer explored history, faith, and fiction in works that still circulate through public-domain archives. Her surviving bibliography suggests a brief but interesting publishing career.
by Anna May Wilson
Anna May Wilson is a little-documented author whose known books include The Days of Mohammed (1897) and A Star in a Prison: A Tale of Canada (1898). Library and public-domain listings also associate her with In League with the Powerful (1899), alongside Eugenia D. Bigham and Alice L. Griggs.
Because reliable biographical information about her life appears to be scarce, most of what can be confirmed today comes from catalog and archive records rather than from full biographical sources. Those records show that her work has remained accessible through collections such as Project Gutenberg and The Online Books Page, which has helped preserve interest in her writing.
Her books suggest an author drawn to dramatic storytelling and historical or moral themes. Even without many personal details on record, her work survives as part of the long tail of popular late-1800s literature that readers can still discover today.
