by Anna McClure Sholl
About the author
Born in Philadelphia on March 17, 1868, Anna McClure Sholl was an American writer and painter. She attended Cornell University and went on to build a literary career that included novels, essays, and children’s stories.
She is especially remembered today for works such as The Faery Tales of Weir, which shows her gift for warm, whimsical storytelling. Her range as both an author and an artist gives her work a distinctive texture: thoughtful, visual, and often gently imaginative.
Sholl died in New York City on April 1, 1956. Though she is not as widely known now as some of her contemporaries, her books still attract readers interested in early 20th-century fiction and fairy-tale writing.
