About the author
Caroline Fuller, identified in library records as Caroline Fuller, 1873-, was an American author born in Bangor, Maine, on September 10, 1873. Reference listings also give her fuller name as Caroline Macomber Fuller.
She is best remembered for The Alley Cat's Kitten (1904), a children's book published by Little, Brown, and for On a Western Campus: Stories and Sketches of Undergraduate Life. The surviving catalog record suggests a writer with a gift for light narrative and an interest in everyday experience, from animal stories to scenes of student life.
Reliable biographical detail about her is scarce, which makes her work stand out even more than the record of her life. Today, her books remain accessible through major library and public-domain collections, helping modern readers rediscover a voice from the turn of the twentieth century.
