About the author
Caroline Hadley was a pseudonym used by Caroline Haddon (née Caroline Waterman), a British children's author born in Bishop's Stortford on October 9, 1827. In 1853 she married the printer John Haddon in Bristol, and she went on to publish fiction and religious writing for younger readers.
Her known books include Woodside; or, Look, Listen, and Learn, as well as Bible-centered works such as Stories of Old and Half Hours with the Bible. Her writing was aimed at children and families, with an emphasis on observation, character, and clear moral lessons.
Some catalog and research sources identify Caroline Hadley as a pen name rather than her legal name, which helps explain why her books appear under both Hadley and Haddon in different records. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not available from the sources I could verify.
