About the author
Writing under the pen name Carol Norton, she was the American author Grace May North (February 1, 1876 – July 23, 1960). She worked as a journalist as well as a novelist, and her books were aimed mainly at children and young adults.
Her fiction includes mysteries and adventures such as Bobs, a Girl Detective, The Seven Sleuths' Club, The Phantom Town Mystery, and The Phantom Yacht. She also published books under her own name, and sources note that some later works connected with her career were republished under the Carol Norton name.
Because the available sources for Carol Norton point mainly to Grace May North's author records and reference pages, some personal details are sparse online. Even so, the surviving bibliographic record shows a writer who helped shape early 20th-century girls' and children's series fiction with energetic, plot-driven stories.
