About the author
Emily Churchill Thompson Sheets is a little-documented author born in 1875. The clearest verified record found here is bibliographic: Project Gutenberg lists her as the author of In Kali's Country: Tales from Sunny India, and library and archive records connect that book with an early printed edition.
Because reliable biographical information about her life appears to be scarce, it is safest to describe her through the work that survives. In Kali's Country is a collection of stories set in India, and modern catalog and edition notes consistently present it as fiction shaped by a missionary and colonial-era viewpoint.
