About the author

Blanche Proctor Fisher was an early 20th-century writer best known for children's plays. Confirmed surviving works include Finding the Mayflowers, published by Walter H. Baker Company in 1918, and Santa Claus Gets His Wish: A Christmas Play in One Act For Young Children, published in 1921.

The available records point to a playwright who wrote simple, performable pieces for children rather than long novels. Santa Claus Gets His Wish features a small cast and a festive Christmas setting, while Finding the Mayflowers shows an interest in history and education, suggesting that her work was designed to be both entertaining and useful for school or community performances.

Reliable biographical details about her life appear to be scarce in the sources I could confirm, so much of her personal story remains unclear. Even so, the works that are still accessible give a clear sense of her warm, practical style and her focus on young readers and performers.
