About the author
Born in St. Albans, Vermont, in 1877, Arthur Scott Bailey became a prolific American writer of children’s literature. Sources consistently describe him as the author of more than forty books, many centered on animals, birds, and insects.
His stories are especially remembered for giving young readers playful, character-driven tales while slipping in observations about nature. He also created the syndicated comic strip Animal Whys, and his work has remained widely available through public-domain libraries and audiobook projects.
Bailey died in 1949. I couldn’t confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages I checked, so no verified author photo is included here.
