The Adventures of Squirrel Fluffytail: A Picture Story-Book for Children
by Dolores McKenna
About the author
Dolores McKenna was a children's author whose known work appeared in the early 1920s. Library and public-domain records connect her with picture story-books for young readers, including The Adventures of Squirrel Fluffytail and The Adventures of the Bunny-Boys, both illustrated by Ruth H. Bennett.
Her stories center on animal characters and simple adventures, reflecting the cozy, imaginative style of children's publishing from that period. Because so little biographical information about her seems to survive in widely available sources, most of what can be confirmed today comes from catalog records and digitized editions of her books.
That small footprint gives her work a certain curiosity value: she is one of many early children's writers whose books outlasted the details of their lives. For modern listeners and readers, her stories offer a glimpse of a gentler storybook tradition built around nature, play, and childhood wonder.
