Edna Clark Davis

Edna Clark Davis was an American author remembered for children's books including Miss Polly Wiggles and Polly Wiggles and Some Others. The books were published by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard in the 1920s, with Polly Wiggles and Some Others appearing in 1927.

Although not much biographical information is readily available from major literary reference sources, her writing has remained accessible through Project Gutenberg, which lists her works for modern readers. That continued availability suggests a small but lasting place in the history of children's fiction.

Available memorial records identify an Edna Clark Davis born in 1905 and died in 1989, but without stronger confirming sources, it is best to treat those life dates cautiously. What can be said with confidence is that her name remains closely tied to the Polly Wiggles books, which preserve her light, story-centered style.
