Emilie Vaughan-Smith

Emilie Vaughan-Smith is a fairly obscure author, and the clearest public record I could confirm is her connection to the children’s novel The Boy from Green Ginger Land. Project Gutenberg lists her under both “Vaughan-Smith, Emilie” and the alias “Smith, Emilie Vaughan,” which suggests her published name appears in more than one form.

The Boy from Green Ginger Land is presented by Project Gutenberg as an early 20th-century children’s novel. On its title page, the work is credited to E. Vaughan-Smith and notes that she was also the author of Crags of Duty, though I could not independently confirm further biographical details about her life.

Because reliable information about Vaughan-Smith seems to be scarce online, much of her personal background remains unclear. What does stand out is her place in the tradition of classic English children’s fiction: stories centered on family, resilience, and the small adventures of growing up.
