Best known for the charming 1916 children's book Bobbie Bubbles, this little-known writer and illustrator left behind a playful slice of early twentieth-century picture-book fantasy. Surviving records are sparse, which only adds to the book's quiet air of curiosity.

by E. Hugh Sherwood, Maud Gridley Budlong
E. Hugh Sherwood is credited as the author and illustrator of Bobbie Bubbles, a children's book published by Rand McNally in 1916 and later preserved by Project Gutenberg and other digital libraries. The surviving catalog records consistently link Sherwood with that book, and they also show Maud Gridley Budlong as a collaborator.
Very little biographical information about Sherwood is readily confirmed in major public book sources, so most modern readers know the name through this single whimsical work rather than through a large bibliography. What does stand out is the double role of writer and illustrator, suggesting a creator closely involved in the book's imaginative tone and visual style.
Because the historical record available online is so thin, Sherwood remains an intriguing figure on the edge of children's literary history: remembered less through personal details than through one lovingly preserved book.
