Charlotte B. (Charlotte Bronte) Herr

Charlotte B. Herr (Charlotte Bronte Herr, 1875–1963) was an American author of children's books and fiction. Reliable catalog and reference sources identify her especially with the Punky Dunk series, and also with books such as The Wise Mamma Goose, How Freckle Frog Made Herself Pretty, and Their Mariposa Legend.

Much of her best-known work appeared in the early 1900s and was published by P. F. Volland Company, with illustrations by Frances Beem on several titles. Her stories often use talking animals, playful fantasy, and simple moral lessons, giving them a warm, old-fashioned read-aloud charm.

Herr's books continue to be remembered through archives, library records, and Project Gutenberg editions, which have helped keep her writing accessible to modern readers. While detailed biographical information about her life is limited in the sources I could confirm, her books clearly left a lasting place in classic American children's literature.
