Annie E. Bosworth

Very little confirmed biographical information about Annie E. Bosworth appears to be readily available from reliable online sources. What can be confirmed is that she wrote Rathfelder's Hotel, which is preserved by Project Gutenberg, and that the book was issued by the Presbyterian Board of Publication.

The text of Rathfelder's Hotel also identifies her as the author of The Fisherman's Daughter, suggesting she wrote more than one work for a young audience. From the style and framing of the book, her writing seems to belong to a tradition of Protestant moral fiction for children and teenagers, blending domestic drama, religious themes, and adventurous settings.

Because solid biographical records were not easy to verify, it is safest to remember her through the work itself: a now-obscure author whose stories have outlived their original era through digitization and public-domain archives.
