Twilight and Dawn; Or, Simple Talks on the Six Days of Creation

by Caroline Pridham

About the author

Caroline Pridham is known through surviving editions and library records as the author of several devotional and educational books, including Peeps at Palestine and its People, Domestic Pets: Their Habits and Treatment, Anecdotal and Descriptive, Little Elsie's Book of Bible Animals, and Twilight and Dawn; Or, Simple Talks on the Six Days of Creation.

Reliable biographical detail appears to be scarce, so it is safest to describe her as a writer whose books blended religious instruction with accessible subjects for younger readers and family audiences. The dates attached to her known works place her activity from at least the 1880s into the early 1910s.

Her books suggest a clear, conversational style and an interest in making faith and everyday observation feel connected. Even where little is known about her life, the surviving titles leave the impression of an author who wrote to teach gently and to spark curiosity.
