Born on February 1, 1876, Grace May North was an American writer and newspaper journalist who created novels for children and adolescents. She published mainly under her own name, but some later editions of her work were issued under the pseudonym Carol Norton.
Her books often centered on adventure, friendship, and mystery, with stories featuring both girls and boys. That mix of brisk storytelling and youthful independence helped make her work a good fit for readers who enjoy classic series fiction from the early 1900s.
Grace May North died on July 23, 1960. A confirmed portrait image could not be found from the sources reviewed, so no author photo is included here.
