About the author

Edith B. Davidson was an American writer of children's stories. Public-domain library records and reading catalogs connect her with a small group of animal-centered books, including The Bunnikins-Bunnies in Camp, The Bunnikins-Bunnies and the Moon King, Nibbles Poppelty-Poppett, and The Blowing Away of Mr. Bushy Tail.

Her work appeared in the early 1900s, and at least one of those books was originally published in Boston by Houghton Mifflin in 1909. The stories are remembered for their cozy, imaginative style, with rabbits, mice, squirrels, and other creatures placed at the center of light adventures that suit younger listeners especially well.

Reliable biographical details beyond her authorship are hard to confirm from the sources available here, so it is safest to let the books speak for her. What comes through clearly is a fondness for animal characters, everyday mishaps, and the kind of old-fashioned storytelling that still feels sweet aloud.
