Charlotte B. (Charlotte Bronte) Herr

Charlotte B. Herr was an American author of children's books writing in the early 1900s. She is especially associated with the Punky Dunk series, and several of her best-known books were illustrated by Frances Beem and published by the P. F. Volland Company.

Her surviving bibliography shows a fondness for animal-centered stories with gentle, playful lessons, including How Freckle Frog Made Herself Pretty, The Wise Mamma Goose, and the Punky Dunk books. She also wrote San Pasqual, a Tale of Old Pasadena, showing that her work was not limited to nursery-style fiction alone.

A number of her works remain accessible through Project Gutenberg, which has helped keep her writing in circulation for modern readers. I wasn't able to confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
