About the author

Flora Helena Nervander, better known as Ellen Nervander, was a Finnish teacher, writer, translator, and singing teacher born in Helsinki in 1842. She also wrote under the pen names Ellen and E-n.

Her work moved across education, literature, and translation, and library and reference sources connect her with a substantial body of publications. She is especially associated with writing and adapting works for children, including plays and stories, and with helping bring Finnish literature to readers through translation.

Nervander died in Helsinki in 1936. A clear portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
