About the author

Very little biographical information about Elizabeth Davis Leavitt was available in the sources I found. What can be confirmed is that she is credited as the author of The Grasshopper Stories, a children's book published in 1912, with illustrations by Maude Dewey Doan.

Her work has been preserved by the Library of Congress, listed by the Online Books Page, and made available through Project Gutenberg, which suggests the book has had lasting enough interest to remain accessible to modern readers. Because reliable personal details were not readily available, it is best to remember her through the quiet charm of the book itself rather than through an extensive recorded biography.
