Anne Pence Davis

Raised in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Anne Pence Davis became a writer whose work ranged across juvenile fiction, poetry, reviews, and novels. Archival records at Western Kentucky University describe her as a poet, reviewer, novelist, and author of juvenile fiction, and note that she later lived in Wichita Falls, Texas after her marriage.

After graduating from what is now Western Kentucky University in 1925, she moved to Wichita Falls, where she took part in civic and literary life. A WKU Libraries overview says she was active in local writing and volunteer circles, including radio production, poetry writing, and the Camp Fire Girls.

She is especially remembered for the "Mimi" books for younger readers, including Mimi at Sheridan School and Mimi's House Party. Those stories helped preserve her place as a warm, energetic voice in early 20th-century children's fiction.
