About the author
Annie Hamilton Donnell was an American author born in Maine in 1862 and died in 1943. Reference listings and library records consistently identify her as a writer of fiction and short stories, and online bibliographies show that she published widely in the early 20th century.
Her best-known books include Rebecca Mary, The Very Small Person, Judith Lynn: A Story of the Sea, and Four Girls and a Compact. Her work often centers on children, everyday relationships, and the emotional texture of home life, which helps explain why her stories continued to be reprinted and preserved in digital libraries.
A brief biographical note preserved in Woman's Who's Who of America also connects her with Ann Arbor, Michigan, under the name Mrs. Webb Donnell. Surviving public sources are fairly limited, but they agree on the broad outline: she was a Maine-born American writer whose gentle, character-focused books found a lasting readership.
